FAQs

Does the wife automatically get the house in a divorce?

No, Texas requires a just and right division of the marital estate. Either spouse could end up with the marital residence depending on many factors or by agreement of the parties.

How do I get the court to enter a final decree?

To get the court to make a final decree of divorce, either the court will hold a final trial and render an order, or the parties will agree to a final decree, and the court will accept that in lieu of a final trial. All of the legal procedures and formalities for every divorce must be met before the court will sign a final decree.

How do I pay for a divorce in Texas if my spouse controls the money?

The funds available to the parties in a marriage belong to the community estate. That means that the income earned by the spouses belong to the couple, not to the earner. The court can order funds be paid by one spouse to the attorney of the other spouse if the second spouse does not have any other means to pay an attorney.

Can a lawyer take a contingency fee in a divorce?

No. A lawyer is not permitted to work on a contingency fee basis in Texas family law cases like divorce. This is why lawyers require a retainer to be paid before work is done.

Can I get a divorce if I still live with my spouse?

Yes. Cohabitation is a choice made by the spouses that does not affect the legal proceedings. Though, cohabitation during a divorce can be problematic for the individuals.
