I was terrified to start the divorce process, but they made it feel manageable. My uncontested divorce was filed correctly and finished right after the 60-day wait. Calm, kind, and never pushed me toward conflict. Exactly what I needed.

Jennifer M.

Austin, TX · Uncontested Divorce

As a dad I was worried I would get pushed aside. My attorney fought for a 50/50 possession schedule and treated me with respect the whole way. I now have real, meaningful time with my kids. I cannot thank them enough.

Sofia R.

Pflugerville, TX · Divorce Mediation

Our divorce involved a business and retirement accounts, and I was anxious about protecting what I built. They brought in the right experts, valued everything properly, and got a fair division. Discreet and thorough from start to finish.

Michael D.

After my circumstances changed I needed to modify custody, and they handled it without drama. They kept my kids' stability at the center the whole time. Clear communication, fair fees, and genuine care.

Amanda K.

Austin, TX · Custody Modification

Stationed near Austin and dealing with a military divorce, I had no idea how my pension or jurisdiction would work. My attorney knew the SCRA and USFSPA cold and protected my interests. Professional, responsive, and fair.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a divorce cost in Austin, and how do your fees work?
It depends on whether your divorce is agreed or contested. An uncontested divorce is the most affordable and we offer predictable flat-fee options. Contested matters are billed hourly with clear, upfront estimates. We always explain the fee structure in your free consultation before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises.
How long does a divorce take in Texas?
Texas requires a mandatory 60-day waiting period after filing before a divorce can be finalized. A truly uncontested divorce can be completed shortly after that 60 days. Contested cases that involve custody disputes or complex property typically take 6 to 12 months, depending on the issues and the court's schedule in Travis County.
What are the residency requirements to file for divorce in Austin?
To file for divorce in Texas, you or your spouse must have lived in the state for at least 6 months and in the county where you file for at least 90 days. For a divorce filed in Travis County, that means 90 days of residency in the county. We confirm you meet these requirements during your consultation.
How is property divided in a Texas divorce?
Texas is a community property state. Most property and debt acquired during the marriage is community property and is divided in a manner the court considers just and right, which is not always a 50/50 split. Property you owned before marriage or received by gift or inheritance is typically separate property. We help identify, value, and protect your fair share.
How does child custody work in Texas?
Texas uses the term conservatorship instead of custody, and courts decide based on the best interest of the child. Most cases result in joint managing conservatorship, where both parents share rights and duties, with one parent typically designating the child's primary residence. We help you secure a parenting plan and possession schedule that protects your relationship with your children.
Do we have to go to court to get divorced?
Often, no. Most Austin divorces settle without a trial, frequently through mediation, which Texas courts usually require before a final trial anyway. Mediation is private, faster, and less expensive, and it lets you and your spouse control the outcome. If a fair agreement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to advocate for you in court.
