Texas has residency requirements and a “cooling off” period for divorce. In Texas, one spouse must reside within the state for six months before the filing of a divorce petition. That spouse must live in the county where the petition is filed for three months before any paperwork is filed.
Texas has a sixty-day mandatory waiting period before a judge will grant a divorce. It does not matter if the divorce is agreed upon or uncontested. However, there are exceptions for domestic abuse.
Domestic abuse can affect the Texas divorce procedure. An experienced Texas divorce attorney can explain if these measures apply to your case.

Accolades & Distinctions
Texas offers both uncontested and contested divorce. In an uncontested divorce, the spouses agree on EVERYTHING. There are no matters for the court to resolve.
The judge must still approve the final divorce order and associated documents to ensure they meet all of the state’s legal requirements. Even in an uncontested divorce, it is imperative to have an attorney review any paperwork for correctness and make sure your legal rights are secure.
A contested divorce is any case where the spouses disagree on ONE or more issues.
Texas offers fault and no-fault grounds for divorce. In Texas, the no-fault grounds for divorce are insupportability of the marriage and separation of three or more years without marital relations.
In a no-fault divorce, neither spouse must accept blame for the breakup of the marriage nor prove the other did anything to cause the divorce. No-fault divorces are typically faster and less expensive than fault divorces.
Fault divorces can be filed for reasons such as:
Always consult a Texas divorce attorney before filing for a grounds-based divorce, as these require evidentiary proof and may not benefit you.
Evans Family Law Group understands that no two spouses are alike, no two divorces are alike, and there are no solutions that fit every client we meet. Like the individuals involved in divorces, there are multiple divorce filings and resolution methods we can tailor to meet your needs.

How to Deal with the Stress of a Divorce
Client Reviews

I had a great experience working with Jimmy Evans on my divorce case. He provided excellent counsel and always focused on getting me the best results. He was accommodating and made sure I understood each step of the process. His paralegal, Dina, was also wonderful! She kept communication clear and timely, and I could always count on her for quick updates and answers. The firm as a whole was efficient, professional, and supportive, which made a difficult process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Jimmy Evans and his team.
