Uncontested Divorce Services in Houston, Texas

Partner with a Trusted Houston Divorce Attorney

Divorces can generally be classified as contested or uncontested, depending on whether spouses can agree upon key issues related to custody, support, and property. The type of divorce you may be faced with will vary depending on your goals and the many circumstances in play, such as whether you and your spouse are on relatively amicable terms, whether you have children, and whether you are interested in trying to work out disagreements outside of the courtroom in the first place.

Kay Polk has been representing clients in contested and uncontested divorce proceedings in Houston and across Harris County since 2000. She knows precisely how to protect her clients’ interests in either approach, with the ultimate goal of securing a stable and bright post-divorce future.

Understanding Contested Divorce in Texas

A contested divorce is one where spouses cannot or have not reached their own agreements regarding:

Child custody (referred to as conservatorship in Texas)
Possession of and access to a child or children (referred to as parenting time or visitation)
Child support (paid by the noncustodial parent to the custodial parent for the child's care)
Spousal maintenance (also referred to as alimony or spousal support)
Property division (which will affect community property under Texas law)

When spouses cannot reach agreements regarding these matters, the court will need to intervene and make these decisions for them. Spouses can also consider mediation or a collaborative approach to work out disagreements and turn a contested divorce into an uncontested divorce.

For a confidential assessment of your situation, call our Texas divorce attorney at (713) 234-6260. We are standing by to help.

Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce

In an uncontested divorce, spouses have agreed upon custody, support, and property division. This opens the door to a much swifter and less contentious divorce process, which can save a good deal of time, money, and stress. Uncontested divorces need only be on file for 60 days from the date of filing to proceed.

Streamlined Uncontested Divorce Solutions in Houston and Harris County

For residents of Houston and the greater Harris County area, navigating an uncontested divorce can be a smoother process with the right guidance. Local resources such as the Harris County District Clerk's Office and the Houston Bar Association offer valuable information and support for those going through a divorce. These entities provide access to necessary forms, legal aid, and other resources that can help streamline the process.

One common pain point for many in Houston is the complexity of property division, especially given the city's diverse real estate market. Whether you own a home in the Heights, a condo in Midtown, or rental properties in the Energy Corridor, understanding how to fairly divide these assets is crucial. Additionally, for families with children, determining custody and support arrangements that align with Texas laws and local standards is essential for a stable future.
