Frequently Asked Questions

An uncontested divorce is one in which both spouses reach an agreement together about their property, debt, child custody and support without the need for mediation or court intervention.

An uncontested divorce is the single option that keeps you and your spouse in control of the process. You decide the timing, the cost, the property division, the child issues. And you remain amicable. When you cannot agree, the process can become costly, stressful, and you leave a decision in the hands of a stranger. Take control of your future!

You can! But there are a lot of complexities to divorce and protecting yourself in the future.

No. Unfortunately, a lawyer can only represent one party to a legal case. The spouse who engages Divorce Concierge will be the client. At Divorce Concierge you have two options. You can choose to represent yourself and Divorce Concierge will draft all necessary documents that reflect the agreement you have reached and provide them to you with step-by-step instructions.

Yes. Often people plan the divorce process well in advance of filing. Book An Appointment with Divorce Concierge to discuss divorce planning. An attorney will guide you on what documents to gather, how to possibly divide your estate, how to develop a parenting plan, and how to present a proposal to your spouse, so you save time and money once you are ready to file.

In an uncontested divorce, you make that decision. However, many factors may influence this decision, such as the title to the property, whether it was acquired before marriage, the name on the debt, as well as the value of other assets. Our Divorce Concierge process can help you make this decision.

No. The beauty of Divorce Concierge and your uncontested divorce is that you control the process and the conflict. We will provide a Waiver of Service for your Spouse to sign along with the Final Decree of Divorce that reflects your agreement. However, if your spouse does not sign the Waiver of Service, the divorce will no longer be considered uncontested.

If you do not have sufficient knowledge of your estate to make an informed decision, an uncontested divorce with Divorce Concierge is probably not the best option for you. For more information, Book An Appointment.

If you are a victim of domestic violence, you should first take steps to ensure your safety. The nature of domestic violence and the personalities involved make it difficult to pursue an uncontested divorce. For more information, reach out to our team at Divorce Concierge for guidance.

Not in Texas because Texas law requires that you be a Texas resident for 6 months before filing for divorce. Your options are to divorce in the state of your last residence, or plan for your uncontested divorce now so you can file once you have met the residency requirements.

Only one spouse is required to reside in Texas. However, if you have children and the children do not reside in Texas, the Texas court may not be able to address custody and child support.

In Texas, child support is set according to a formula based on a percentage of the child support obligor’s net resources. The team at Divorce Concierge will assist you in calculating child support. It is up to you to determine how they will apply in your case. Child support, once ordered, will be paid through the State Disbursement Unit and Divorce Concierge can draft the Withholding Order and help you set up your child support account.

In Texas, most parents utilize a Standard Possession Order, which essentially means that the child will reside with one parent and visit with the other parent overnight one night during the school week and on alternating weekends, with both parents dividing holiday time and summer. This arrangement does not always meet the needs of families. At Divorce Concierge, we offer additional custom provisions that allow for equal access and possession.

First, congratulations on making a decision that is right for you. Once you have filed for divorce and change your mind, we can process the paperwork to dismiss your case.

Possibly. If you have been married 10 years, you may qualify for spousal maintenance. However, if there is no agreement between you and your spouse, then a request for maintenance would mean your divorce is no longer uncontested. At Divorce Concierge we can provide orders for agreed spousal maintenance.
