FAQ
What is a Default Divorce in California? If due diligence fails and the spouse successfully avoids the attempts to serve the papers, the process moves into a default divorce process.
Yes. Your spouse does not have to sign the final decree for your divorce to be finalized. In Texas, as long as one spouse believes the relationship cannot be fixed, the judge will grant the divorce.
In summary, the dissolution of marriage in Texas is recognized through the legal process of divorce. This process involves meeting residency requirements, filing a petition for divorce, addressing various issues such as property division and child custody, and obtaining a final divorce decree from the court.
After your petition for divorce has been filed, Texas law requires a 60-day waiting period in order for the divorce to be finalized, even if it is uncontested. During this time, you or your spouse may file temporary orders to create parameters of conduct during the divorce process.
The 10-year rule stipulates that a spouse may seek spousal support if the marriage lasted 10 years or longer. However, meeting this duration requirement does not automatically guarantee spousal support but rather makes it a possibility that the court will consider.
The spouse filing for a divorce on the basis of abandonment must prove this reason, which can be challenging. As mentioned, as a reason for filing for divorce, a spouse must prove abandonment by demonstrating the other partner left with the intention to abandon them and that they remained away for at least one year.
The state of Texas mandates a 60-day waiting period intended as a cool-off time for couples before the dissolution of marriage is finalized. This period starts from the date the divorce petition is filed with the court.
There are two ways to legally end a marriage: annulment and divorce. While these legal procedures are both avenues for dissolving a marriage, there are some major differences between them.
In a Texas divorce, the courts try to split property and assets equitably, but Texas isn't a 50/50 divorce state. A Court is charged with making a “just and right” division of the marital estate, taking into account a variety of factors.
For marriages that violated the 30-day waiting period for remarriage after divorce, you must file for annulment within one year after you were married. For marriages that violated the 72-hour waiting period after getting license, you must request an annulment within 30 days after the ceremony.
