The end of a marriage is a difficult and highly emotional time. After all, choosing to end a relationship is never easy. However, when you have children, assets, and property, it can become even more difficult to untangle your lives. During this time, you may not even know where to start or how you can protect your interests throughout the process. You may also have many questions running through your mind, including:

• How will I pay for a divorce?
• When will I see my kids?
• Who will get to live in the house?
• What happens to my retirement account?

When you are considering a divorce, it is important to speak to an experienced Houston divorce attorney. Your attorney can answer your questions and give you the confident support you need to move forward.

No matter how simple or how complex your divorce may be, you need a lawyer on your side to protect your rights and interests.

Getting a Divorce in Houston

If you wish to get divorced in Houston, you must meet certain requirements before you can file.

• You must live in Texas for at least six months before filing for divorce. In addition, you must have lived in Harris County for at least 90 days prior to filing. Both parties do not have to meet these requirements, but as long as either you or your spouse meet these residency requirements, you can file for divorce in Houston.
• Parenting Class. If you and your spouse have children, you may need to complete a Parent Education Program prior to filing for your divorce. There are many in the area to help you meet this requirement. If one party has not taken the required parenting class, a divorce judge may dismiss your case. Ask one of our attorneys if you need to take this class before you file.
• No Fault. Texas is a state that recognizes both fault and no-fault divorces. This means that you do not have to prove fault in order to get divorced. You can cite irreconcilable differences or that you have been living apart for at least three years. Fault grounds could include adultery, cruelty, and abandonment.
• Waiting Period. It is important to know that the court will not finalize the divorce for at least 60 days after the initial filing. This waiting period is a necessary part of the divorce process in Houston.
