How Long Does An Uncontested Divorce Take In San Antonio?
In Texas, there is normally a mandatory 60-day waiting period for a divorce to be finalized. With an uncontested divorce, many couples can look forward to being divorced by the 61st day. If there has been domestic violence, this timeline may be even shorter.
How Much Does An Uncontested Divorce Cost?
Bandoske & Butler, PLLC, offers simple, uncontested divorce starting at $1,500. Unlike the case of a DIY divorce, you will not have to fill out your own forms or worry about making mistakes. Instead, you will provide intake information to the firm and our attorneys will complete the paperwork for you.
What Are The Advantages Of A Simple, Uncontested Divorce?
For many people, a simple, uncontested divorce brings less stress and is easier on children in the family as compared to traditional litigation. This type of divorce may provide a number of other benefits that will be unique to your situation.
Do You Need A Lawyer For An Uncontested Divorce In San Antonio?
Yes. While a lawyer isn’t legally required, having one can make the process smoother and more secure. Even in an uncontested divorce, important legal documents must be properly drafted and filed. Missteps in the divorce petition or settlement paperwork can lead to delays or future disputes.
Hiring a divorce attorney ensures your rights are protected and the final agreement is enforceable. At Bandoske & Butler, PLLC, we help clients avoid common errors and understand the long-term effects of their decisions.
How Does Property Division Work In An Uncontested Divorce?
In Texas, property acquired during the marriage is usually considered community property, which must be divided equitably. In an uncontested divorce, both spouses agree on how the property division should occur.
Even if there’s an agreement, it’s important to clearly document how you’ll split assets and debts. This includes homes, cars, retirement accounts and other jointly held property. A well-drafted divorce settlement protects both parties and avoids misunderstandings later.
If you’re unsure about how asset division might affect your future, we can help you evaluate your options.
