Let Our Westlake Divorce Attorneys Help You

There are multiple types of divorce in Texas, and no one is right for every couple. A divorce may be settled through:

• Litigation. This is the traditional courtroom divorce method with testimony from both spouses;
• Meditation. In mediation, the spouses meet with a neutral third party to work through issues they cannot resolve themselves;
• Collaborative divorce. A collaborative divorce involves a team of divorce professionals and each spouse’s attorney working together to create an agreement without assistance from the court;
• Uncontested divorce. In an uncontested or agreed divorce, the spouses agree in advance to all of their outstanding issues;
• Default divorce. A default divorce may occur when the responding spouse fails to answer the divorce petition or is unable to be located after any court-mandated service attempts;
• Arbitration. In an arbitrated divorce, a third-party acts as the final say in any matters the parties cannot resolve themselves. The arbitrator’s decision is binding, unlike any mediation agreement.

A divorce attorney at Evans Family Law Group can explain these divorce settlement and resolution methods to you in full. Then they can assist you in choosing which is best for your situation and budget.

Your attorney will also discuss the following Texas fault-based and no-fault divorces, along with their impact on your divorce proceedings and the length of your divorce.

Fault-Based Vs. No-Fault Divorce in Westlake

Most Texas divorces are no-fault divorces meaning neither spouse is blamed for the breakup of the marriage. The most common no-fault grounds for divorce in Texas are insupportability or irreconcilable differences between spouses.

Filing a no-fault divorce does not require proof of fault of either party. However, if a petitioner files a divorce and chooses fault-based grounds, they must prove those alleged grounds.

The fault-based grounds for divorce in Texas include:

• Cruelty;
• Adultery;
• Felony conviction;
• Abandonment; and
• Confinement to a mental hospital for an excess of three years.

Fault-based divorces can be beneficial for property awards. However, always seek the advice of an experienced Westlake divorce attorney before choosing to file a fault-based divorce, as they can be longer and more costly than other types.

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.
