Can you stop a divorce after filing in Texas?
The answer is yes! If both parties have filed pleadings (paperwork) asking for some relief, then it will take both of them to get it dismissed. If only one party has filed something with the Court, then it only takes that one person to dismiss the action. This is called a Nonsuit.
What is the easiest way to get a divorce in Texas?
Obtaining an uncontested divorce in Texas is typically easier and faster than a contested divorce because a trial in front of a judge is not necessary. The procedure for filing an uncontested divorce is most straightforward where no minor children are involved.
What is the law on divorce in Texas?
Texas law allows for “no-fault” divorce, which means the spouse filing for divorce does not have to prove any fault, wrong doing or marital misconduct on the part of the other spouse. However, a judge may take fault into consideration when determining what is a fair division of the parties’ marital property.
