Uncontested Divorce Attorney

When both spouses are in agreement about the terms of their divorce, the legal process can be faster, less expensive, and far less stressful. This is known as an uncontested divorce—a divorce where both parties are willing to cooperate and resolve all key issues without going to court. Even though the process may seem simple, having the guidance of an experienced uncontested divorce attorney ensures everything is handled properly from start to finish.

At McGlothin Family Law, we help individuals in Denton County and throughout the Dallas Fort Worth area complete uncontested divorces smoothly and efficiently. Whether you are seeking a cost-effective divorce or want to avoid drawn-out legal battles, we are here to guide you through each step.

What Is an Uncontested Divorce in Texas?

An uncontested divorce means both spouses have reached a full agreement on all aspects of their divorce, including:

• Division of property and debts
• Child custody and visitation (if applicable)
• Child support and medical support
• Spousal maintenance or alimony

This type of divorce is best for couples who are ready to move forward and want to keep the process as smooth as possible. In many cases, an uncontested divorce can be finalized without either party appearing in court.

Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce

Uncontested divorces offer a number of important advantages, including:

• Lower legal costs
• Faster resolution
• Less emotional strain
• More privacy
• Greater control over the outcome

Because the terms are agreed upon in advance, you avoid court hearings, contested motions, and drawn-out disputes. With the help of a qualified attorney, you can ensure that the necessary documents are properly prepared, filed, and approved.

Who Qualifies for an Uncontested Divorce in Texas?

To file an uncontested divorce in Texas, you and your spouse must:

• Agree on all terms of the divorce
• Meet Texas residency requirements (one spouse must live in Texas for at least six months and in the filing county for at least 90 days)
• Be willing to sign all necessary documents
• Not have any active protective orders or pending disputes

If children are involved, you must also agree on custody, visitation, and child support. If there is even one unresolved issue, the case may become contested and require further legal action.

Why You Still Need a Divorce Attorney

Even when both spouses agree on the terms, it is still important to have a family law attorney assist with the process. At McGlothin Family Law, we:

• Draft all necessary legal documents
• Ensure the agreement is fair, clear, and enforceable
• Help you avoid common filing mistakes that can delay your case
• Answer any legal questions you may have along the way
• Represent your interests and protect your legal rights

Do-it-yourself divorce forms can lead to mistakes, confusion, or missing documents that delay your final decree. We ensure everything is handled the right way the first time.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take?

In Texas, there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period from the date you file your Original Petition for Divorce. However, if all paperwork is filed correctly and there are no delays, most uncontested divorces can be finalized shortly after that period ends.

At McGlothin Family Law, we work to ensure your uncontested divorce is processed as efficiently and accurately as possible. We understand that you are ready to move on, and we respect your time.
