Texas Divorce: Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need A Reason To File For Divorce?

No, you do not need a specific reason to file for divorce. Most states, including Texas, allow for “no-fault” divorces, where you simply need to state that the marriage is irretrievably broken or that there are irreconcilable differences. This means you do not have to prove wrongdoing by your spouse to obtain a divorce.

Why Would You Get A Legal Separation Instead Of A Divorce?

A legal separation allows a couple to live apart and make formal arrangements for finances, child custody, and other matters without ending the marriage. Some reasons to choose legal separation over divorce include religious beliefs, the potential for reconciliation, financial considerations like retaining health insurance benefits, or meeting the requirements for a longer duration of marriage to qualify for certain benefits.

What Is The Difference Between Divorce And Legal Separation?

The main difference between divorce and legal separation is that divorce legally ends the marriage, while legal separation does not. In a legal separation, the couple remains legally married but lives apart and makes formal arrangements regarding property division, child custody, and other matters. This arrangement can provide time for the couple to decide whether to reconcile or proceed with a divorce.

How Do I File For Divorce In Texas?

To file for divorce in Texas, follow these steps:

Meet Residency Requirements: You or your spouse must have lived in Texas for at least six months and in the county where you plan to file for at least 90 days.
File a Petition: File an Original Petition for Divorce with the district clerk’s office in the county where you live.
Serve Your Spouse: Legally deliver the divorce papers to your spouse.
Wait for Response: Your spouse has 20 days to respond.
Attend Court Hearings: Participate in any required hearings or mediation sessions.
Finalize the Divorce: Once all issues are resolved, a judge will sign the Final Decree of Divorce.

How Much Does A Divorce Cost?

The cost of a divorce varies widely depending on factors such as whether the divorce is contested or uncontested, the complexity of the issues involved, and attorney fees. On average, a divorce can cost anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Additional costs may include court fees, mediation fees, and other related expenses.

What Can Be Used Against You In A Divorce?

In a divorce, various factors can be used against you, including evidence of infidelity, financial misconduct, substance abuse, criminal activity, and neglect or abuse of your spouse or children. Additionally, social media posts and electronic communications can be scrutinized and used as evidence in court.

Should I File First?

Filing for divorce first can offer some strategic advantages, such as choosing the jurisdiction if you and your spouse live in different areas, and potentially setting the tone for the proceedings. However, it is important to consult with an attorney to understand the implications and whether it is the right decision for your specific situation.

Can I Have My Attorney’s Fees Paid By My Spouse?

In some cases, a court may order one spouse to pay the other spouse’s attorney fees. This typically happens when there is a significant disparity in income or financial resources between the spouses. The court will consider various factors, including the needs and ability to pay of both parties, before making a decision.

Can We File Divorce Paperwork Ourselves?

Yes, you can file divorce paperwork yourself, particularly if the divorce is uncontested and you and your spouse agree on all terms. This process is known as a “pro se” or self-represented divorce. However, it is recommended to at least consult with an attorney to ensure that your rights and interests are adequately protected.
