Uncontested Divorce in Texas Made Simple

Going through a divorce can be stressful, but an uncontested divorce allows you and your spouse to reach agreements on property, child custody, and support without a long court battle. At Snodgrass Law Firm, we help Texas families navigate this process efficiently and affordably.

What is an Uncontested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all major issues, including:

• Division of property and debts

• Child custody and visitation

• Child support

• Spousal support (if applicable)

Because there’s no dispute, uncontested divorces in Texas are generally faster, simpler, and less expensive than contested divorces.

Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce

• Lower costs: Avoid prolonged litigation and attorney fees.

• Reduced conflict: Cooperation reduces stress for you and your children.

• Privacy: Fewer court appearances and public hearings.

The Uncontested Divorce Process in Texas

1. Consultation with an Attorney
   We review your situation, answer your questions, and explain your options.

2. Prepare and File Divorce Documents
   We draft the Petition for Divorce and the Final Decree reflecting your agreements.

3. Waiting Period
   Texas law requires a minimum of 60 days after filing before a divorce can be finalized.

4. Court Approval
   If the court approves your agreement, a judge signs the Final Decree, making your divorce official.

Do You Qualify for an Uncontested Divorce?

You may qualify if:
