Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a divorce cost in Austin, and how do your fees work?v
It depends on whether your divorce is agreed or contested. An uncontested divorce is the most affordable and we offer predictable flat-fee options. Contested matters are billed hourly with clear, upfront estimates. We always explain the fee structure in your free consultation before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises.
How long does a divorce take in Texas?v
Texas requires a mandatory 60-day waiting period after filing before a divorce can be finalized. A truly uncontested divorce can be completed shortly after that 60 days. Contested cases that involve custody disputes or complex property typically take 6 to 12 months, depending on the issues and the court's schedule in Travis County.
What are the residency requirements to file for divorce in Austin?v
To file for divorce in Texas, you or your spouse must have lived in the state for at least 6 months and in the county where you file for at least 90 days. For a divorce filed in Travis County, that means 90 days of residency in the county. We confirm you meet these requirements during your consultation.
How is property divided in a Texas divorce?v
Texas is a community property state. Most property and debt acquired during the marriage is community property and is divided in a manner the court considers just and right, which is not always a 50/50 split. Property you owned before marriage or received by gift or inheritance is typically separate property. We help identify, value, and protect your fair share.
