Uncontested Divorce Service
-
When both spouses have already agreed on the terms, Ashley helps you skip the delays that come with a contested case. She prepares and files the paperwork, reviews the agreement for gaps before it's signed, and moves the case through the court as quickly as Texas law allows.
-
Most uncontested divorces don't need an in-person meeting to move forward. Ashley meets with clients by video or phone, reviews documents electronically, and handles filings without requiring anyone to take time off work or drive to Fort Worth. If you live outside Tarrant County, or just prefer not to sit in a waiting room, the entire case can run virtually from consultation to final decree.

Texas requires specific paperwork to finalize a divorce, and mistakes here cause delays. Ashley handles preparation and filing so you're not stuck decoding legal forms on your own.
-
Not every divorce involves spousal support, but when it's on the table, Ashley helps clients understand what Texas law allows, whether they're seeking support or responding to a request for it, and works toward terms that reflect their actual financial circumstances.
Common Questions About Uncontested Divorce in Texas
How long does an uncontested divorce take in Texas?
Texas requires a 60-day waiting period that starts the day you file, so the earliest a divorce can be finalized is day 61. Most uncontested cases take 60 to 90 days in total. The exact timing depends on how quickly your paperwork is complete and how soon the court has an opening for your final hearing.
Can I get a divorce in Texas without going to court?
Sometimes. A judge has to approve every Texas divorce, but in an uncontested case that approval is usually a short final hearing called a prove-up, often over in a few minutes. Some courts hold it by video, and some accept a written affidavit instead of an appearance. Which one applies depends on your court, and Ashley can tell you what to expect before you file.
Can I get divorced online in Texas?
You can handle most of the process online, but you can’t skip the court. Consultations, document review, and filing can all happen remotely, and Goodwin Legal works with clients across Texas by video. A judge still grants the divorce after the 60-day wait. To file in Texas, you or your spouse must have lived in the state for six months and in the county where you file for 90 days.
What are the advantages of an uncontested divorce?
Because you and your spouse agree on the terms, the case usually moves faster and costs less than a contested one. You decide how property, debt, and parenting time are handled instead of leaving those choices to a judge. There are also far fewer court dates, which means less conflict and less stress for everyone involved, including your children.
How can we divorce amicably when we have kids?
Start by agreeing on a parenting plan: who makes major decisions, what the possession schedule looks like, and how child support will work. Put it all in writing in your settlement agreement, because the court has to approve it as being in your child’s best interest. Outside the paperwork, keep disagreements away from your kids, don’t speak badly about the other parent in front of them, and keep their routines as steady as you can.
