Our process is designed for Texas divorces where all issues are already agreed. Flat-fee pricing applies only to uncontested cases and depends on whether children or complex assets/division is involved.
Step 1: Confirm Your Case Is Uncontested
A Texas divorce is considered uncontested when both spouses agree on all issues, including property division and, if applicable, child-related matters.
Flat-fee pricing applies only when no negotiation, mediation, or litigation is required. In the event that one or more issues remains disputed, please contact us and we can discuss other options with you.
Step 2: Determine Whether Your Case Involves Minor Children
Texas uncontested divorces fall into two primary categories:
• Uncontested divorce without minor children (Tier 1)
Applies when there are no children under 18 born or adopted during the marriage.
• Uncontested divorce with minor children (Tier 2)
Applies when parents of minor children agree on all terms regarding conservatorship, possession, access, and child support.
Cases involving minor children require additional drafting and statutory language under the Texas Family Code.

Step 3: Identify Property or Complexity Issues
Pricing and document preparation also depend on whether the case involves:
Real estate, complicated assets, or complex division.
More complex cases require additional drafting and review but can still qualify as uncontested if all terms are agreed.
Step 3: Attorney Preparation of Divorce Documents
Once eligibility and pricing are confirmed and all necessary info is obtained, all required divorce documents are prepared based upon your agreed terms. Documents and terms are tailored to the terms of your specific agreement and to any county-specific requirements.
Unlike DIY form services, your paperwork is prepared and reviewed by an experienced Texas uncontested divorce attorney, reducing the risk of costly errors or rejected paperwork.
Flat-fee pricing does not include QDRO preparation, post-judgment enforcement or modifications, or contested matters.
Step 5: Filing and Finalization
After all information has been gathered and all documents have been prepared, reviewed and completed:
The divorce case is filed in the appropriate Texas court
The mandatory 60-day waiting period is observed
And the divorce is finalized according to Texas law
Most uncontested divorces are finalized by submission only, which means that a physical appearance in court is typically not necessary.
Step 4: Filing and Finalization
After all information has been gathered and all documents have been prepared, reviewed and completed:
• The case is filed in the appropriate Texas district court
• The statutory 60-day waiting period is observed
• The divorce is finalized according to Texas law
Most uncontested divorces are finalized without the need for either spouse to physically appear in court.
