Divorce FAQS
What’s the Difference Between a Contested and Uncontested Divorce?
In an uncontested divorce, both parties already agree to the issues that must be determined in a divorce, such as child custody, division of property, or spousal support. The parties may not agree on all issues at the beginning of the process, but they commit to attempting to work through the differences through negotiation or some other formal process, such as collaborative divorce or mediated divorce.
Having both parties focus on common goals and interests can speed up the legal process. When this is the case, Collaborative Divorce, a process through which two parties commit to reaching a resolution outside of court, can be a good option.
In a contested divorce, on the other hand, spouses aren’t able to come to terms with one or more divorce issues and turn to the court for a decision. In a contested divorce, it’s important for both spouses to seek out legal representation from experienced family law attorneys.
Even though it’s quite common for both parties to be on different pages at some point during the divorce process, working with an attorney in Texas for legal help with a divorce can diffuse the level of conflict, particularly when that lawyer is a skilled negotiator, understands a client’s goals, and prioritizes their best interests.
Do You Offer Post-Divorce Services in Texas?
Yes, our experienced Texas divorce lawyers can help you navigate any post-judgment issues that arise. After all, it’s not uncommon to find yourself in need of a lawyer in Texas for divorce help even after it’s finalized. There are several reasons why you might need to contact a divorce lawyer post-judgment. These include:
- Timing and problems associated with property distribution issues
- Violations of parenting or child custody agreements
- Adjustments in spousal support due to remarriage or changes in income
- Parenting issues related to one party moving out of state
- Concerns related to changes in children’s expenses
- Terms of the parenting plan becoming unworkable and no longer in the best interests of the child
