Texas requires one spouse to be a resident of the state for six months before the filing of a divorce. That spouse must reside in the county where the divorce is filed for at least ninety days.
There are both fault and no-fault divorces in Texas. Fault divorces in Texas require one spouse to prove the other was responsible for the breakup of the marriage due to:
A no-fault divorce does not blame either spouse for the divorce. The two no-fault grounds in Texas are insupportability or irreconcilable differences between the spouses and separation of three or more years during which there were no marital relations.
Most divorces in Texas are based on the grounds of insupportability due to the expense or time involved with divorcing due to other grounds.

Accolades & Distinctions
In Texas, spouses may file an uncontested or agreed divorce. This requires filing on the grounds of insupportability of the marriage. For a divorce to be uncontested, the spouses must agree on all legal issues in their divorce, such as:
Disagreement on any of these means the divorce is contested.
No Texas divorce may be finalized until sixty days after the filing of the divorce petition. There are limited exceptions where domestic violence is present.
Once a divorce decree is signed, neither spouse may remarry for thirty-one days beyond that date.

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.
