Do all your exes live in Texas?
Well, if you need to learn about Texas divorce laws, you will be glad to know that an uncontested divorce in Texas is the quickest and cheapest way to end a valid marriage. (Annulments are reserved for invalid marriages.)
Unfortunately, uncontested divorces require you and your spouse to agree on absolutely everything concerning the divorce—once you’ve crossed that hurdle, though, the process is fairly simple. We’ll tell you how it works, so read on.
Divorces can be a contentious process. Filled with dispute and disagreement around the issues and fine details. However, this isn’t always the case. When two people seeking a divorce are already in agreement on how the divorce will be ended legally, we call this an uncontested divorce.
An uncontested divorce is where both parties involved agree on topics such as how marital property will be divided, who will have custody over the kids (or pets), and the reason for the divorce itself.
Having nothing to contest is a time and cost-saver for many couples, but the path to finalizing a settlement agreement comes with requirements.
If you or someone you know is exploring the possibility of an uncontested divorce in Texas, the following information will be important to know.
