Is this a real attorney or just a document service?

This is not a document service. You are represented by an experienced Texas uncontested divorce attorney who handles your case from start to finish.

What’s included in the flat fee?

All required divorce paperwork, plus legal guidance, counsel, and direction until your divorce is finalized.

How long does an uncontested divorce take in Texas?

The Texas Family Code requires a 60-day waiting period after filing. Most uncontested divorces are finalized shortly after that period expires.

Do both spouses have to agree?

Yes. This service is for fully agreed divorces only. If one spouse disagrees, we can discuss options for contested cases.

Do I have to go to court?

In most counties and Texas district courts, no. When the paperwork is properly prepared and procedures are followed, a court appearance by either spouse is usually unnecessary.

What makes a divorce “uncontested” in Texas?

A Texas uncontested divorce is when both spouses agree on all issues, including property division and, if applicable, child-related matters. If negotiation, mediation, or court intervention becomes necessary, the case is no longer uncontested.

How much does an uncontested divorce cost in Texas?

Flat-fee pricing typically ranges from $500 (uncontested divorce without children) to $800 (uncontested divorce with children). Other factors may affect pricing. We confirm all pricing before preparing any documents.

Why is handling real estate considered an “add-on?”

Dealing with real estate in a divorce increases the complexity of the case. Normally we would need to review the real property records, prepare a deed and a deed of trust, and include specific customized language in the decree.

Is the process different if we have minor children?

Yes. Texas uncontested divorces involving minor children require additional statutory language under the Texas Family Code addressing conservatorship, possession and access, and child support. These requirements increase complexity compared to uncontested divorces without children. No-children vs. with-children requirements

What qualifies as a “no-children” uncontested divorce?

A no-children Texas uncontested divorce applies when there are no minor children (under 18) born or adopted during the marriage. These cases involve fewer statutory requirements under the Texas Family Code and typically qualify for lower flat-fee pricing.

Is an attorney required for an uncontested divorce in Texas?

While the Texas Family Code and Texas law does not require an attorney in order to get divorced, attorney preparation helps ensure documents comply with the Texas law and local court requirements, reducing delays, errors, and avoiding potential costly mistakes.

Are court filing fees included in flat-fee pricing?

No. Court costs and filing fees are paid separately and are in addition to the flat fee.

Is QDRO preparation included in the flat fee?

No. Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs) are separate legal instruments and are not included in flat-fee uncontested divorce pricing. If your case requires the preparation of a QDRO, we will discuss an additional fee.
