Texas Divorce Basics: Texas requires a minimum 60-day waiting period after filing before a divorce can be finalized, and Texas is a community property state — most assets acquired during marriage are divided in a just and right manner. The sooner you have counsel, the better protected your assets, your business, and your time with your children.
Client Story
“As a small business owner, I thought I would lose half my company. They structured a buyout, established a clean valuation, and protected the business as my separate property. The team understood both family law and how a business actually works.”
- David L., Pflugerville, TX
Common Questions
How much does a divorce attorney in Austin cost?v
Costs depend on whether your divorce is contested or uncontested and how complex your assets and custody issues are. We offer a confidential consultation to review your situation and explain your options, including flat-fee arrangements for uncontested matters and hourly representation for contested cases. We are transparent about fees from day one so there are no surprises. Call us at (512) 877-1389 to get started.
How long does a divorce take in Texas?v
Texas requires a minimum 60-day waiting period from the date the petition is filed before a divorce can be finalized. Uncontested divorces often finalize shortly after that window. Contested divorces involving disputed property, business valuations, or custody can take six months to over a year. We work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while protecting your interests.
Is Texas a community property state?v
Yes. Texas is a community property state, which means most assets and debts acquired during the marriage belong to both spouses and are divided in a just and right manner, which is not always an even 50/50 split. Separate property, such as assets owned before marriage or received by gift or inheritance, can be kept if properly traced and documented. We characterize and value the entire marital estate to protect your share.
Do I need to live in Austin to file for divorce here?v
To file for divorce in Texas, one spouse must have lived in the state for at least 6 months and in the county of filing for at least 90 days. If you meet the Travis County residency requirement, we can file here. We serve clients throughout Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and the surrounding Central Texas counties.
