Divorce doesn’t have to be stressful or expensive. If you and your spouse agree on all major terms, an uncontested divorce offers a streamlined and amicable solution. At Denis Law Group, our experienced San Antonio uncontested divorce attorneys are dedicated to guiding you through this process efficiently and compassionately.

What is an Uncontested Divorce in Texas?

An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all aspects of the separation, including:

• Division of assets & debts – How property, savings, and liabilities are split.
• Child custody & visitation – A parenting plan that benefits both parents and the child.
• Child support – A financial agreement in the child’s best interest.
• Spousal support (alimony) – If applicable, terms of ongoing financial support.

Because there is no need for a trial, uncontested divorces are often quicker, less expensive, and less emotionally taxing than contested cases.

Who Qualifies for an Uncontested Divorce in Texas?

To file for an uncontested divorce in San Antonio, you and your spouse must meet these requirements:

• Residency Requirement: At least one spouse must have lived in Texas for 6 months and in Bexar County for 90 days before filing.
• Agreement on Key Issues: Both parties must agree on child custody, property division, and financial matters.
• No Pending Disputes: There must be no ongoing disagreements that require court intervention.

If you and your spouse meet these qualifications, an uncontested divorce lawyer in San Antonio can guide you through the process with minimal court involvement.

The Uncontested Divorce Process in San Antonio

1. File for Divorce in Bexar County
   One spouse (the petitioner) submits an Original Petition for Divorce to the district court.
2. Sign a Waiver of Service
   The other spouse (the respondent) waives formal service, confirming they received the petition.
3. Negotiate and Finalize the Divorce Agreement
   A Marital Settlement Agreement is drafted, outlining child custody, property division, and financial terms.
4. Wait 60 Days (Texas Law Requirement)
   Texas law mandates a 60-day waiting period after filing before a judge can finalize the divorce.
5. Court Approval & Final Decree
   A family court judge reviews the agreement and, if everything is in order, signs the Final Decree of Divorce—legally ending the marriage.

Note: Some cases may require one brief court appearance, but many uncontested divorces can be handled without either spouse needing to appear in court.
