What is an Uncontested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce, also known as a "no-fault" one, occurs when both spouses mutually agree to end their marriage and can resolve all relevant issues without court intervention. These issues typically include property division, child custody and visitation arrangements, child support, and alimony. Both parties avoid a lengthy and contentious legal battle and the emotional and financial toll by opting for an uncontested divorce.

An uncontested divorce's key benefits are its efficiency and simplicity. Both spouses collaborate to reach agreements, often with the help of legal counsel, to ensure that their divorce is amicable and swift. It can save you considerable time and money compared to a contested divorce, which may involve hearings, trials, and extended litigation.

Uncontested Divorce Requirements in Texas

In Texas, an uncontested divorce is a feasible option if the following requirements are met:

Residency: At least one spouse must have been a Texas resident for the preceding six months and a county resident where the divorce is filed for at least 90 days.
Agreement on Divorce Grounds: Both parties must agree on the grounds for divorce. Texas recognizes "insupportability" as a no-fault ground for divorce, which means the marriage has become insupportable due to conflict or discord that cannot be reconciled.
Agreement on Key Issues: All essential issues, such as child custody, property division, child support, and alimony, must be resolved. This involves creating a comprehensive divorce settlement agreement.
Financial Disclosure: Both spouses must provide complete and accurate financial information, including assets, debts, income, and expenses.
No History of Family Violence: An uncontested divorce may not be suitable if there's a history of family violence. The safety of all parties involved is a top priority.
Waiting Period: Texas imposes a mandatory 60-day waiting period from when the divorce petition is filed before it can be finalized. This waiting period allows spouses to reconsider and ensures they are resolute in their decision.

It's important to note that the above requirements must be met for the court to grant an uncontested divorce in Texas. Our experienced attorneys at Mueller Family Law Group can guide you through these prerequisites to ensure your uncontested divorce proceeds smoothly.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take?

The duration of an uncontested divorce in Texas can vary based on the circumstances, court workload, and the complexity of the issues involved. However, an uncontested divorce is typically faster than a contested divorce. As mentioned, the minimum waiting period is 60 days before the divorce petition is filed.

Several factors can influence the timeline of an uncontested divorce:

Agreement Complexity: The more complex the issues to resolve, the longer the process may take. If both parties agree and can swiftly draft a comprehensive divorce settlement agreement, the process can proceed more rapidly.
Court Scheduling: Court schedules can vary, and the availability of court dates for final hearings can impact the timeline.
Legal Assistance: Having legal counsel, such as the experienced lawyers at Mueller Family Law Group , can streamline the process. We can assist in drafting the necessary legal documents, ensure all requirements are met, and expedite the court's review and approval.
Post-Filing Negotiations: Even after reaching an agreement, negotiations and revisions to the settlement agreement may extend the timeline.

In many cases, an uncontested divorce in Texas can be finalized within a few months. However, it's important to remember that each divorce has various factors that can influence the timeline. The expertise of our attorneys can be invaluable in ensuring the process moves efficiently and that your interests are protected.
