When it comes to divorce representation, the initial question you’ll have to answer is if the divorce is contested or uncontested. This simply means whether or not you and your spouse are willing to agree to certain terms or if the divorce case will be taken all the way to trial.
When it comes to divorce representation, it is important to consult with a qualified attorney like Belinda. You will discuss important issues like whether or not the case is likely to be uncontested or contested. Even when a case is contested, that does not mean that you will need a trial. Prior to actually going to trial, there will be numerous attempts to reach a settlement that is agreeable to you. This includes negotiation with the other side or their attorney and/or going to mediation. Once a divorce case is filed in Texas, there is a minimum 60 day waiting period before the case will be finalized. This is state law so it is important to file without delay to start this time period.
