Can I Hire a lawyer to review my paperwork?

You may file in court without an attorney when you and your spouse agree on everything. However, even if your divorce seems simple, it’s still smart to speak with a family law attorney in Round Rock before filing.Ā 

A ā€œsimple divorceā€ usually means both spouses agree on the major issues, such as property division, custody, and support. However, having a lawyer review the terms ensures your rights are protected and the paperwork is done correctly. Further, in a simple divorce an attorney can speed up the process by just having their name on the paperwork. Courts often put often pro se paperwork on the back burner which can delay your divorce.Ā

  • Understand your legal rights under Texas family law
  • Draft or review your divorce agreement

How does Texas handle military divorces?

Military divorces in Texas follow the same basic legal process as civilian divorces but have additional legal considerations. Active-duty service members are protected under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), which allows them to postpone divorce proceedings while deployed. Residency requirements can also be more flexible, as military members or their spouses may file for divorce in the state where they are stationed, where they claim legal residence, or where their spouse resides. Division of military pensions follows federal laws, specifically the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act (USFSPA), which allows Texas courts to award a portion of military retirement benefits to a non-military spouse if they were married for at least 10 years while the service member was on active duty. Additionally, child custody and support considerations may differ due to deployments and relocation, requiring tailored parenting plans.

If your spouse does not respond after being served, the court may proceed with a default divorce, granting the terms requested by the filing spouse.

To file for divorce in Texas, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for six months and in Williamson County for at least 90 days before filing.

Texas is a community property state, meaning assets and debts acquired during the marriage are generally divided equally. However, the court may order an unequal division based on factors like each spouse’s financial situation, fault in the marriage, and contributions to the household.

Texas law allows spousal maintenance (alimony) in limited cases, such as marriages lasting 10+ years, domestic violence, or if a spouse cannot support themselves due to disability.

No, Texas does not recognize legal separation. However, couples can sign agreements to address property, custody, and financial support while remaining married.

  • 1 child: 20% of net income
  • 2 children: 25% of net income
  • 3 children: 30% of net income
