Contested Divorce

Texas District Court

Situation — How This Comes Up

My spouse and I can’t agree on anything — assets, kids, the house.

What You Need to Know First

Texas is a community property state. Every asset and liability acquired during the marriage is presumed to be divided 50/50 — but that presumption can be rebutted with the right evidence.

Full Analysis

A contested Texas divorce requires litigation of all disputed issues including property division, child custody, and support. The process typically takes 6-18 months.
