Georgetown Family Law Attorney

Q: How long does a divorce take in Texas?

Texas has a mandatory 60-day waiting period from the date a divorce is filed before it can be finalized. Many divorces take longer depending on whether the case is contested, how quickly agreements are reached, whether custody or property issues are involved, and the court’s schedule.

Q: How is property divided in a Texas divorce?

Texas is a community property state, which means most assets acquired during the marriage are considered community property. Courts divide property in a manner that is “just and right,” which does not always mean a 50/50 split. The facts of the marriage, finances, property, and debts can all matter.
