Filing Information for Texas Divorces
This is basic information for filing an uncontested divorce. The way you file a default divorce is slightly different from how you would file a set of missing spouse divorce papers. You will receive complete instructions with your package.
The instructions are not to take the place of consulting an attorney if you feel that you do not understand your rights. We highly recommend that you seek the advice of an attorney in your area if you feel this is the case.
You can print all forms after you have approved them (you will need 3 copies of each). You then sign all forms (the respondent must sign and Notarize the Waiver of Citation - it must be dated AFTER the date you filed your petition; and the respondent must sign the Marital Settlement Agreement and the Final Decree). If you decide to Pick Up your forms instead of printing them, for your convenience, many of the locations you can Pick your forms Up at have Notary Services Available, and will save you time.
NOTE: The Waiver of Citation may not be filed the same day as the Petition.
Take All Forms EXCEPT The Decree Down To The Clerk. (We give you Three full copies of each form so you do not have to waste time copying them yourself).
You will return to court after the mandatory 60 Day waiting period with your Decree and Child Support Sheets (if applicable). You will then make a brief appearance before the Judge with the help of our testimony sheet (all you have to do is read it). Once your Decree is signed, you are officially Divorced.
NOTE: You may not remarry until the 31st day after your divorce is final.
