Where Do I Go For a Divorce?

If you hire a family law divorce attorney, your attorney will file your divorce petition electronically.

What rights does a wife have in a divorce in Texas?

Either spouse is entitled to a fair and equitable division (approximately 50%) of the community property and, in certain extreme cases, to a disproportionate share (greater than 50%) of the community property. This includes all assets acquired during the marriage, but does not include separate property owned by either spouse.

How can I get a divorce without money?

Obtaining a divorce with absolutely no money is difficult but not impossible. The party seeking a divorce can visit the Family Law Attorney’s Office at the Bexar County Courthouse to obtain an information packet to help prepare and file the necessary documents to initiate a divorce case. The filing fee may be waived if the filing party submits a declaration of indigence stating that they have no money. Another option is to seek free legal aid or the assistance of a pro bono attorney.

How Fast Can You Get a Divorce in Texas?

With very few exceptions, it takes a minimum of 60 days to obtain a divorce in Texas. The state has a mandatory 60-day waiting period to finalize a divorce. The waiting period begins when the divorce petition is filed.

What Can’t You Do During a Divorce?

Most counties in Texas have standing orders that govern the actions of the parties during divorce proceedings. Generally speaking, a spouse may not:

• Selling or wasting marital property
• Hide funds
• Transfer assets to your name
• Disconnect public services
• To alter the status quo of the marital relationship
• Doing so may result in penalties.
• What is the first thing to do when starting a divorce?

The first thing to do when starting a divorce is to consult an attorney for advice. Generally speaking, the first step involves filing a divorce petition and notifying your spouse of the divorce papers. Subsequent steps vary depending on the circumstances of each case, but may include requesting temporary orders for child support, assistance with monthly obligations, exclusive use of a vehicle or residence, and rules governing child custody.

What if I want a divorce and my spouse doesn’t?

Either spouse may seek a divorce at any time, with or without the consent of the other spouse.

How to Secretly Prepare for a Divorce?

A party seeking a divorce should always consult with an attorney. If a party does not want their spouse to know about the process, that party should gather financial records, emails, text messages, social media posts, photographs, written records, and any other documents and evidence to assist in the process should they decide to proceed with the divorce.
