Attorney for Houston Uncontested Divorce and Family Law
The general perception of divorce is that it has to be a painful, emotionally-wrenching process. However, some couples are able to work out their differences prior to filing for divorce. In an uncontested divorce, couples come to an agreement on every divorce-related issue, minimizing the time and expense associated with divorce litigation.

Why is an Uncontested Divorce Preferred?
- Less expensive — Costs can accumulate quickly when the courts are involved in settling a divorce. Since divorcing parties resolve all of their issues out of court, they avoid these costs.
- Less time — Saving the time spent negotiating and litigating divorce-related issues, an uncontested divorce is often much quicker than a contested one.
- Less conflict — In a no-fault divorce, parties must resolve their issues prior to filing for divorce. With disagreements and court intervention, any divorce can be contentious. However, when parties are in control of their decisions, much conflict is avoided.
Collaborative Divorce
Another option for couples wishing to avoid a courtroom divorce is collaborative law, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). In collaborative law, individuals work with opposing counsel and their spouse to develop mutually beneficial agreements to which they will both be held. Collaborative law is a private proceeding and doesn't require a public record.
