In Texas, a divorce can be either contested or uncontested. An uncontested divorce is one where the parties have reached a full agreement on all issues, and they submit those agreements to the Court. In a contested divorce, the parties do not agree on one or more issues and require the Court to issue final decisions on those issues for which they do not agree.
Generally, uncontested divorces are less costly and less time-consuming. This is because the parties have reached a full agreement on all issues, including property division, child custody, and child support. While a full agreement will make the process more stream-lined, the procedure is complex and there is necessary paperwork that must be completed properly to complete your uncontested divorce. Our attorneys at Smart & Malone Family Law Group, PLLC will guide you through the uncontested divorce process, prepare all required paperwork, and provide legal advice and representation each step of the way.
