It only gets harder when a divorce becomes contentious. Our goal is to help our divorce clients navigate the tumultuous period by providing compassion. One common misconception is that divorce proceedings take longer than they do. Texas law requires a waiting period of 60 days from the filing of the initial petition to the entry of the final divorce decree. The waiting period allows the spouses to prepare for divorce by listing all debts and property that will be split by the court. They can also determine the schedule of child custody if there are children. There must also be temporary orders to control property access and establish temporary arrangements for child support and custody. In cases where fraud or waste is likely, the court might be required to issue a temporary order to prevent one spouse from accessing money or property. If both spouses agree on the terms, the judge can issue an order. The spouses must resolve disputed issues in the divorce (usually through mediation), or they can be brought before a jury or judge. Parties must settle all issues if a couple divorces, including property division, debt distribution, spousal maintenance, and any other issues that may arise in a relationship, such as conservatorship, possession, access, and custody.
