The Uncontested Divorce Process in Fort Worth

Here’s how the uncontested process generally works in our area:

• Review eligibility: Texas requires one spouse to have lived in the state for six months and in Tarrant County for at least 90 days prior to filing.
• Draft agreements: We assist with preparing documents that reflect your shared decisions on property, finances, and any children.
• File legal paperwork: We submit your uncontested divorce documents to the appropriate local court and outline the next actions you will take.
• Wait for distribution periods: A 60-day waiting period, required by Texas law, begins once the petition is filed.
• Attend court review: In uncontested divorces, often only one spouse must attend a brief hearing, where the judge reviews the agreements for fairness and legal compliance.
• Receive a divorce decree: Once the court approves your agreements, the divorce becomes final and legally binding.
