Balanced, Clear Counsel · Finding The Right Approach To Your Dissolution

The idea of an uncontested divorce is appealing, and it is possible to get one in Texas — if you and your spouse can agree on all issues involving children, property and debt. At the other end of the spectrum, some intensely disputed cases do go all the way to trial. The great majority of divorces fit somewhere in between, due to factors such as:

  • By the time divorce is certain, many couples are having great difficulty communicating calmly and effectively, increasing the challenge of negotiating important agreements on their own.
  • Navigating the legal system is more intimidating than many people realize. Even if you believe you can get an uncontested divorce, you should work with a lawyer to avoid mistakes, delays and the loss of your rights.
  • Whatever legal path you select, divorce takes time. If you file for divorce and then pursue negotiations with the help of a qualified divorce lawyer, you can do so with the protection of restraining orders that prevent your spouse from moving assets or taking certain other actions.
