How do I begin my Texas Divorce?
We suggest you begin your Texas Divorce by contacting a Houston Divorce Attorney for an initial consultation. Too much is at stake to do otherwise. A Texas Judge is about to sign an order that will determine your relationship with your children for the next several years, it will determine how much of your net worth you are about to lose, how much of any business you own you will get to keep, possibly where you will live 60 days from now, what car you will be driving.
Always consult an attorney to ensure that your best legal strategy is used to protect your rights during a divorce proceeding.
How long does it take to get divorced in Texas?
A petition for divorce must be on file with the court for at least sixty days before the court will grant a divorce. In certain cases, the sixty day waiting period may be waived (see convictions for family violence and protective orders).
If both parties are able to reach an agreement quickly, then the divorce can be finalized soon after the sixty day waiting period has tolled. Certain divorces can take much longer, depending on the level of disagreement between the parties and the court’s schedule. [We also discuss how much it costs to get divorced here.]
When is my divorce final?
You are divorced when all property & child related issues are resolved, and the judge signs your Divorce Decree.
When can I get married again?
Generally, you must wait 30 days after your Divorce Decree is signed to get married again. In certain cases, the Court will grant a waiver permitting you to marry sooner.
How long must I be a Texas resident to get divorced here?
At least one of the spouses must live in Texas for 6 months, and in the county where the divorce is filed for at least 90 days.
Can I get an annulment instead of a divorce?
An annulment is a proceeding which declares a marriage void (as if it never took place). A divorce is a proceeding to end a valid marriage. In both cases, the court will divide property and resolve any issues regarding children of the marriage.
An annulment will be granted if:
- the parties are related by blood or adoption, or
- either party was previously married, and the prior marriage has not been dissolved.
An annulment may be granted if at the time of the marriage, one party to the marriage was:
- underage,
- under the influence of alcohol or drugs,
- impotent,
- mentally incompetent,
- forced to marry by fraud or duress, or
- was misled about a prior divorce.
Generally, Texas Family Law requires the person seeking annulment to stop living with the other party once the problem is discovered.
