There are several steps involved in the uncontested divorce process. The first step is to prepare all of the necessary documents for filing. Once the documents are prepared they will need to be filed in the District Clerk's Office in the county in which you reside. If your spouse is the one that meets the residency requirements of a minimum 6 months in Texas and 90 days in the county, then the documents must be filed in the spouse's county of residence. Along with filing your documents, you will be asked to pay filing fees. The next step is to notify your spouse of the action and your spouse's signature will act as permission for the divorce to proceed with or without his/her presence. Finally, anytime after 60 days have passed since the filing of the papers, known as the waiting period, a hearing will be set so that the judge can sign your Agreed Final Decree of Divorce . Attending the hearing and appearing before the judge is the final step to completing your divorce. Our legal professionals can assist you with each step of the process to make certain every step of the process has been completed.
