Compassionate Guidance & Aggressive Representation for DFW Families
Quick Overview: Uncontested Divorce in Texas
An uncontested divorce is the simplest and most affordable way to end a marriage in Texas. When both spouses agree on issues like property division, custody, child support, and spousal support, the process becomes quicker, calmer, and far less expensive.
At The Ashmore Law Firm, we help Dallas–Fort Worth couples navigate uncontested divorces with clarity and confidence—making sure paperwork is correct, agreements are fair, and your case moves smoothly through the court system.

Uncontested Divorce FAQs
Uncontested divorce is often the easiest way to end a marriage in Texas, but many people still have questions about what the process requires and how fast it can be completed. These FAQs offer clear, practical answers based on our experience helping DFW families move through uncontested divorces with as little stress as possible.
How long does an uncontested divorce take in Texas?
Most uncontested divorces can be finalized shortly after the 60-day waiting period. The timeline depends on how quickly documents are completed and when the court can schedule a final hearing.
Do we both need our own lawyer?
Not legally, but it’s recommended. One lawyer cannot represent both spouses. Most couples choose one attorney to draft the agreement and the other spouse hires limited-scope counsel to review it.
What if we agree on everything except one issue?
Then the case becomes contested. However, mediation can often resolve the final disagreement and return the case to an uncontested path.
Is uncontested divorce cheaper than contested divorce?
Yes. With fewer hearings, less conflict, and limited negotiations, uncontested divorce is almost always significantly more affordable than a contested case.
Postnuptial Agreements for DFW Couples

Uncontested divorce offers a path that avoids the stress and conflict many people associate with the divorce process. When both spouses communicate openly and agree on the terms, the court system becomes much easier to navigate.
DFW couples choose uncontested divorce when they can agree on:
- how to divide property and debt
- parenting time and conservatorship
- child support
- spousal support (if any)
- who keeps the house or whether to sell it
- long-term financial expectations
It’s a good fit for couples who want to protect their privacy, save money, protect their children from conflict, and move forward with dignity.
A Peaceful Approach
Uncontested divorce doesn’t mean your marriage was easy—it means you’re choosing a respectful way to end it. You can avoid court battles, emotional strain, and needless expense.
A Faster Path Through the System
While contested cases can take months—or years—an uncontested divorce often moves through the Dallas or Tarrant County courts much faster.
