Uncontested Divorce Cases in Austin
Austin, TX Uncontested Divorce Attorney
When couples decide to marry, generally they would like to believe that their marriage will truly last "until death do us part", but the unfortunate truth is that a large percentage of marriages will end in divorce. While divorce is one of the most emotionally trying experiences in one's life, that's not to say that the process cannot be amicable, if the terms of the divorce have been agreed upon.
In an uncontested divorce, the process requires that both parties have already agreed upon most items such as:
A final Decree of Divorce can be drafted by a knowledgeable and experienced
Austin divorce attorney that will outline all of the decisions that both parties have come to an agreement on in advance. If there are children involved in the divorce, a
child custody and visitation agreement will need to be completed, as well as an outline for
child support, if an amicable decision is reached regarding these issues. If you have been married long enough, and
spousal support may be an option, those amounts, as well as the length of the payments, must be included as well in the final decree.
Uncontested Divorce & Mediation in Austin
It is highly recommended, even in the case of an uncontested divorce, that both parties retain their own legal counsel. This ensures that each person is fully aware of what terms they are agreeing to in the documents being drafted and also provides both parties with legal advice regarding documents created by the opposite party's representation. Even in amicable situations where the terms of the divorce have been agreed upon in advance, proper legal counsel and representation is vital to ensuring that both parties are being treated fairly and receive the opportunity to fully discuss any entitlements that may have been overlooked.
