How Much Does A Divorce Cost In San Antonio?

A divorce case can cost anywhere from $2,000.00 to $10,000.00 and up in San Antonio. This price range typically varies based on the complexity of each particular case, the extent to which the matter is contested, the aggressiveness of the family law attorneys involved, whether a jury trial is requested and many other often unpredictable factors.

Where Do I Go For A Divorce?

If you hire a family law divorce lawyer, your lawyer will file your divorce petition electronically. If you are filing your divorce without the help of a family law attorney, you can do so at the Family Law Staff Attorney’s Office at the Bexar County Courthouse, 100 Dolorosa, San Antonio, Texas 78205.

How Much Does It Cost To File For Divorce In San Antonio?

A divorce without children typically costs around $350.00, while a divorce involving children typically costs about $401.00. These costs vary from county to county.

What Is A Wife Entitled To In A Divorce In Texas?

Either spouse is entitled to a just and right division (roughly 50%) of the community estate and, in certain extreme cases, a disproportionate share (greater than 50%) of the community estate. This includes all assets acquired during the marriage, but does not include a spouse’s separate property.

How Do I Get A Divorce With No Money?

Getting a divorce with absolutely no money is difficult but not impossible. The party seeking to file for divorce can visit the Family Law Staff Attorney’s Office at the Bexar County Courthouse to obtain a packet of information to assist in preparing and filing the paperwork for starting a divorce case. The filing fee can be waived if the filing party prepares an affidavit of indigency declaring that he or she has no money. Another alternative is to seek free legal aid or the assistance of a pro-bono lawyer.

How Fast Can You Get A Divorce In Texas?

With very limited exceptions, it takes a minimum of 60 days to get divorced in Texas. The state has a mandatory 60-day waiting period for completing a divorce. The waiting period commences upon filing the divorce petition.

What Can You Not Do During A Divorce?

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

• Sell off or waste items in the marital estate
• Hide funds
• Transfer assets out of their name
• Disconnect utilities
• Disrupt the status quo of the marital relationship

Doing so may incur penalties.

What Is The First Thing To Do When Getting A Divorce?

The first thing to do when getting a divorce is to consult a lawyer for advice. Generally speaking, the first step involves filing a petition for divorce and serving your spouse with the divorce papers. Steps beyond that vary depending on the circumstances of each case, but can include seeking temporary orders to obtain child support, assistance with monthly obligations, exclusive use of a vehicle or residence and rules to govern the custody of children.

What If I Want A Divorce And My Husband Doesn’t?

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

How Do You Secretly Prepare For A Divorce?

A party seeking a divorce should always consult an attorney. If a party does not want his or her spouse to know about the process, that party should assemble financial records, emails, text messages, social media posts, photographs, written logs and any other documents and evidence to aid in the process when that spouse decides to pull the trigger on divorce.
