Texas Uncontested Divorce Pricing | Flat Fees Explained
Texas Uncontested Divorce Pricing — At a Glance
Flat-fee pricing depends primarily on whether minor children or real property are involved. All pricing is confirmed before documents are prepared.
| Case Type | Typical Flat Fee |
|---|---|
| Uncontested divorce (no minor children) | $500 |
| Uncontested divorce with minor children | $800 |
| Real property involved (any case) | +$200 add-on |
Court filing fees are separate and paid directly to the court. Real property pricing depends on the number of properties and type of division or transfer required.
An uncontested divorce means all issues are agreed and no negotiation, mediation, or litigation is required. If any disputes exist or arise, flat-fee pricing would not apply and representation would require separate terms and a separate agreement.
We offer clear flat-fee pricing so you know the cost in advance — no hourly billing and no surprise charges.
The fees below reflect typical uncontested divorce scenarios. Final pricing depends on complexity and does not include court costs, filing fees, or optional services such as QDRO preparation.
