This allows for a DIY divorce in that you do not need to retain an attorney to represent you in court. Instead, you are essentially able to get a divorce without a lawyer by completing and filing your own divorce forms online.
Under Texas law, there is a waiting period of at least 60 days—counted beginning the day after the Petition is filed—before a divorce can be finalized. A divorce can take longer than 60 days, but it cannot be finalized in fewer than 60 days unless one of two exceptions involving family violence applies.
Certified copies of divorce decrees are only available from the district clerk. Certified copies of marriage/divorce records must be obtained in the county or district in which they were originally filed.
In Texas, it is possible to divorce without appearing in Court or by just appearing one time to finalize the divorce. To achieve this, the divorce must be amicable, and both parties should be represented by skilled attorneys who help them to mediate their differences and arrive at amicable agreements.
