How Much Does Divorce in Texas Cost?
According to a Lawyers.com survey, the average cost of a Texas divorce is $11,000 – $13,000. The total average cost without kids and uncontested is about $13,000, but with kids and contested it can be $18,000 – $23,000 or much more depending on numerous factors.
It’s always going to cost more to go to trial and litigating a divorce, which is why the experienced Houston divorce lawyers at Boudreaux Hunter & Associates LLC will help you try to avoid that scenario and pursue mediation instead if that’s the best course of action.
Why hire an attorney rather than go it alone? All types of divorce proceedings can get complicated, even if it’s no-fault and there aren’t children in the picture or there isn’t property either spouse needs to worry about. No matter what situation you’re in, filing for a Texas divorce and going through the process is not simple. This is why you need an experienced lawyer who really understands the complexities of divorce to help you navigate it.
Factors to Consider in a Texas Divorce
Regardless of the circumstances of your divorce, you may need to factor in things like:
- Child Custody: We’ll want to determine how much time will each spouse spend with the children and on a weekly basis, holiday & vacation schedule and rules for taking them out of the state or country.
- Child support: We will help you determine who is going to pay child support, and how much the monthly amount will be.
- Spousal maintenance: We will help you determine which spouse will pay the other following the divorce. You may deserve spousal maintenance because you gave up your career to raise children and will need to go back to school or start in an entry-level position to get back into the workforce.
- Marital property division: We will help determine who gets the house, the bank account and the retirement money and how it is divided.
- A high net worth divorce: Often the imbalance of income of one spouse plays a strong role in a divorce. We may be able to help identify and protect assets and money one had prior to getting married, and pursue a stable life after divorce.
- Domestic violence: If domestic violence, physical or verbal abuse was present, we can help you protect yourself and your children.
- Restraining order: If one spouse needs to place a restraining order against the other out of fear of violence, we can help with the filings. This is known as a protective order in Texas.
- Pet custody: We will help you decide who gets custody of pets and if spouses can have equal time with their dogs, cats and other animals.
- Prenuptial agreements: We can help you with the conditions of prenuptial or postnuptial agreements. Our in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with marital agreements can help if the terms and stipulations were met.
Keep in mind that in order to prove something like domestic violence or decide who gets the property, a spouse would need to have evidence, relevant documents and possibly even witnesses to prove their case.
Is Mediation an Option?
In some cases, divorcing spouses can reach an agreement about all relevant issues without a court hearing. This is often accomplished through divorce mediation. In contentious cases, however, this is not possible. When a couple is unable to work out these issues on their own, their only option is to litigate the case in court.
