Cheap Texas Divorce

All cases require filing fees. Other fees may include, on the court's own motion, fees paid if the court orders mediation or counseling. Attorney fees for legal representation are optional, in the sole discretion of the parties involved.

Generally, mediation is required only if legal matters of significant value or impact remain controversial. In small divorces that do not involve children, meditation is seldom required. For larger and more complex cases, mediation provides a fairly accurate approximation of future trial results.

Cheap Texas Divorce - Other Expenses

While a divorce suit is pending, the court may direct the parties to counsel with a person named by the court. The person named by the court to counsel the parties shall submit a written report to the court and to the parties before the final hearing. In the report, the counselor shall give only an opinion as to whether there exists a reasonable expectation of reconciliation of the parties and, if so, whether further counseling would be beneficial. The sole purpose of the report is to aid the court in determining whether the suit should be continued pending further counseling. Frequently, court ordered counseling includes training for parents regarding assistance for children coping with separation. Hope for a cheap Texas divorce is easily dashed if either spouse demands reconciliation.
