Is It Worth Getting a Divorce Lawyer?

Surely it is worth getting a divorce lawyer for specific circumstances that include family concerns. It is recommended you should hire an attorney if:

  • There are problems involving abuse
  • Your spouse is vindictive and lies
  • An attorney is retained by your spouse
  • Your divorce includes a child or difficult financial problems

If you and your partner decide to end your marital relationship, we suggest reaching out to our Navarro & Ellis County divorce attorney for an uncontested divorce to make certain that your rights are protected and to help lower any tension of the divorce.

Is Texas a No-Fault State For Divorce?

Yes, Texas is considered a "no-fault" divorce state. This means that either spouse may file for divorce without having to prove that the other spouse was at fault for the dissolution of the marriage. Rather, the state of Texas allows for what is called "insupportability" as grounds for divorce, which is a term that is used to describe a marriage that is no longer sustainable due to irreconcilable differences. However, fault grounds such as adultery, cruelty, abandonment, and others can still be used in a divorce case in Texas to affect issues such as spousal support or property division.
