Filing for Divorce by an Uncontested Divorce Lawyer

An Uncontested Divorce Lawyer will help you determine whether you will be able to seek a divorce on an uncontested basis. For example, one of the qualifications to file an uncontested divorce in Texas is that at least one of the parties must have been domiciled in the State of Texas for the six months immediately preceding the filing of the lawsuit seeking a divorce to end the marriage. In addition, another qualification to file an uncontested divorce in Texas is that the same party must have resided in the same county in which the filing of the lawsuit seeking a divorce to end the marriage was made for the ninety days immediately preceding the filing of the lawsuit seeking a divorce to end the marriage.

An Uncontested Divorce Lawyer will generally require that not only will both parties agree to the divorce, but that both parties will sign any and all necessary paperwork without requiring formal service of the lawsuit. Although the Uncontested Divorce Lawyer will only represent one of the parties, he will also require that he will be the only lawyer involved in the process for both parties. Most fees by an Uncontested Divorce Lawyer to handle an uncontested divorce are accomplished with a set prepaid and nonrefundable fee as attorney fees are not charged by the hour for an uncontested divorce.

An Uncontested Divorce Lawyer will certainly let you know that your divorce is not uncontested if either you or your spouse do not agree on any issue in your divorce which may include, the identification of all assets and debts and/or the possession of and access to the children. The divorce can not be considered uncontested if you or your spouse had a child with someone else while the two of you were married to each other.
