What Makes A Divorce Contested?

While some divorcing spouses can come to agreements on the important elements of the separation, such as child custody and property division, that is not the reality for many couples in Texas. When spouses cannot reach an agreement, they must file for a contested divorce to negotiate spousal maintenance, child support and any other important settlement terms. In Texas, a contested divorce must go through formalized proceedings to resolve these disputes, unlike a simple or uncontested divorce.

Filing for a contested divorce involves several steps, starting with one spouse filing a divorce petition. Both parties will then present their cases, which may involve discovery. Next comes negotiations and then, if necessary, a trial. This process can vary in length and often depends on the complexity of the issues and the cooperation level between the spouses.

In a contested divorce, stakes are high, and the legal terrain can be complex. Working with an experienced attorney is crucial in protecting your interests and achieving a favorable outcome. At The Cook Law Firm & Associates PLLC, our lawyers have the experience and strategic insight to navigate these challenges effectively, helping you focus on your family and future.
