FAQ

divorce questions You’re
probably wondering about

01 Do I need a lawyer if we agree on everything?

Yes. Even in an agreed divorce, a lawyer ensures the paperwork is correct, protects your rights, and prevents future disputes.

The court can require financial disclosure, and we work to uncover assets and ensure a fair division.

Not always. Many divorces are resolved through mediation or settlement, but if issues cannot be agreed upon, a court appearance may be required.

Minimum 61 days: that’s Texas law, no exceptions. But most divorces take 3 to 12 months, depending on how much you and your spouse want to fight about kids, money, and property. If you agree on everything, we can wrap it up fast. If your spouse wants to battle over every fork and spoon, it takes longer and costs more. The good news? We don’t drag things out to pad our bill. We push for a fair resolution so you can move on with your life.

It depends on how much fighting your spouse wants to do. We’re upfront about costs—no surprises, no games. We offer payment plans and financing options through LawPay and Affirm so you don’t have to choose between getting good representation and paying your bills. The real question isn’t what divorce costs, it’s what a bad divorce settlement will cost you for the rest of your life.
