To file a Texas divorce, one spouse must live in the state for at least six months. That spouse must live in the county where the divorce is filed for a minimum of three months. There are exceptions to this rule for active military, their spouses, and government workers.
Sixty days must pass before a Texas court will grant a divorce unless the case involves domestic violence. However, the length of any divorce depends on the complexity of the issues involved and whether the divorce is agreed upon or contested.

Due to the nature of uncontested divorces, they are common amongst spouses without complex assets or minor children. If a couple disagrees on anything, the divorce is contested.
It is wise for one spouse to have an attorney in an uncontested divorce as there are divorce documents to draft, and there will be a court appearance. All uncontested divorce paperwork must conform to Texas law or it could face redrafting or even dismissal.

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.
