What Are The Differences Between Contested And Uncontested Divorce?
Texas allows for uncontested divorce, in which both parties simply fill out paperwork and reach an agreement on their own. This is obviously the most efficient and cost-effective avenue to divorce. While you don’t need a lawyer to finalize a divorce, it is wise to have an attorney look over the terms of your divorce. The documents you sign will be legally binding and can affect your life and your financial situation far into the future. To ensure that you don’t make a mistake that could prove costly, sit down with an experienced divorce attorney to review exactly what you are signing and ensure that it is in your best long-term interests.
A lawyer can provide you with a clear understanding of your rights in the property division process, including how it could affect your health insurance, your retirement and your right to certain property.
In many cases, a divorce will start out as an uncontested divorce and evolve into a contested divorce as a spouse comes to understand exactly what he or she stands to lose by signing the documents.
Our team of experienced divorce lawyers is prepared to come alongside you and help you evaluate whether an uncontested divorce is in your best interests. If you decide that you understand the proposed terms and are comfortable with them, we can provide any advice or guidance you may need along the way to finalizing.
If you ultimately decide to take the matter to family law court, we can provide the services you need to protect your future and your financial situation. We are committed to helping clients make the best possible decisions that will provide a solid foundation for the next chapter of their lives.
