Plano, Texas, Lawyer for Uncontested Divorce
We have all heard horror stories about drawn-out, costly and bitter divorces. When both parties agree that marriage has broken down, avoiding this scenario may be possible by agreeing to pursue an uncontested divorce.
This path is attractive for its efficiency and affordability, but it is certainly not for everyone. If you want to understand precisely what an uncontested divorce requires and discuss whether it can work for you, please contact the Tadlock Law Office today.
Family law attorney Gerald Tadlock can guide you through all the legal processes required to obtain an uncontested divorce in Texas. We will not push you toward more expensive services or legal actions. However, we are willing to listen and explore your situation to make certain you are not exposing yourself to an unfair settlement or loss of your rights.
Can You Work Together and Agree on Important Issues?
Typically, an uncontested divorce is appropriate for couples after a relatively short marriage, without minor children or significant property held in common. Such couples may already have decided on terms for separation. At a minimum, the two divorcing parties must be able to reach agreement on certain critical issues with little-to-no intervention by attorneys or the courts. These issues include:
- Child custody, parenting time, and child support
- All aspects of property division
Some individuals and couples believe initially that an uncontested divorce will work, only to realize that reaching agreement on complex divorce issues is not possible after all. Issues of control or manipulation can come up, and such discussions sometimes become volatile and prevent an amicable divorce.
