Frequently Asked Questions About Arlington Divorces

  • What Can You Expect From the Texas Divorce Process?

    Texas requires a mandatory 60-day waiting period before a divorce may be finalized. To file in Tarrant County, either spouse must have lived in Texas for at least six months and in the county for at least 90 days. Texas is a community property state, meaning assets and debts acquired during the marriage are generally divided in a manner that is "just and right" rather than a strict 50/50 split. Clients can generally expect the following steps:


    1. Initial consultation to review your situation and outline your legal options.
    2. Filing the Original Petition for Divorce and serving the other party.
    3. Negotiating temporary orders for custody, support, and property use while the case is pending.
    4. Pursuing mediation or collaborative resolution where possible.
    5. If no agreement is reached, presenting your case before a Tarrant County family court judge.

    For matters involving children, the firm's child custody attorney page covers conservatorship, visitation, and parenting plans in detail.

  • How Is Property Divided in an Arlington, TX, Divorce?

    Texas community property law may result in a division that is fair but not always equal. Separate property owned before marriage or received as a gift or inheritance typically stays with the original owner. Learn more on the firm's asset division page.

  • Do I Have to Go to Court?

    Not necessarily. Many Tarrant County divorces are resolved through mediation or collaborative divorce, avoiding the expense and stress of a full trial. If litigation is required, the firm is fully prepared to advocate for you in court.
