How long does it take to get a divorce in Texas?

In Texas, a divorce cannot be granted until the expiration of 60 days from the time the Original Petition for divorce is filed. Generally, however, unless the divorce is wholly uncontested and the Court’s docket or calendar is clear, it will take longer than 60 days to finalize a divorce anyway.

On average, it takes approximately 6 months for a relatively strait forward divorce. Of course, the more a couple cooperates, the more likely it will be that the divorce process will proceed at a quicker pace.

Reaching the decision to end your marriage is tremendously difficult. Given the complicated and emotional issues with which you are faced in the process, the best advice is to work with a lawyer experienced in Texas divorce law. A lawyer experienced in the legal process can ease your stress as you go through this emotional legal process. The lawyers at Smith & Garg, LLC are prepared to assist you immediately in your time of need.
