Dallas Divorce Law Firms

What if my husband or wife and I agree on the division of property?

When spouses agree on the division of assets, they can have an uncontested divorce. Generally, either the husband or the wife hires an attorney to prepare the original petition for divorce. The petition is filed and the sixty day waiting period begins to run. During this sixty day period, the attorney prepares the final divorce decree granting the divorce, dividing community assets and establishing custody and possession of the children. Upon the expiration of the sixty day period, the attorney goes to court with his client and "proves-up" the divorce. Note that one attorney cannot represent both the husband and wife in an uncontested divorce. The attorney represents either the husband or the wife. The unrepresented spouse either hires his or her own lawyer or proceeds pro se.
