Agreed Divorce (No Kids)

This package is for an agreed divorce where you do not have children from the marriage or adopted.

An agreed divorce in Texas, when there are no children involved, is generally a more straightforward and streamlined procedure compared to divorces that include child custody and support issues. If you have a truly agreed divorce, this package will help you complete your divorce quickly and inexpensively.

Here are the key steps involved in an agreed divorce in Texas without children:

Eligibility: Must be a Texas resident for six (6) months and a resident of Travis, Williamson, or Hays counties for 90 days (for other counties, contact us by email).
Joint Agreement: Both spouses must agree on all issues, including property and spousal support (if applicable), to be eligible. For this fixed-fee divorce, we do not investigate, confirm, or disclose separate property or community property. The Client is responsible for investigating assets or disclosing them.
Draft. Petition for Divorce, signed by both, outlining marriage details, property, and grounds for divorce (irreconcilable differences). Note: Joel's law firm, Levatino Pace PLLC, may only represent one spouse.
File. The petition is filed with the district clerk in the county of filing (the filing fee is included in the fixed fee of up to $400).
Preparation of Waiver of Citation. After filing, the other spouse must sign a Waiver of Citation, which eliminates the need to have them served. This waiver does not waive any other rights other than service. If the opposing party refuses, the case is not "agreed" and will be transitioned to an hourly fee agreement.
Waiting Period: Petition must be on file for 60 days before granting the divorce.
Court Appearance: If agreed, only one spouse needs to attend an uncontested hearing that will last about 15 minutes (actual time before the court).
Final Decree of Divorce: Signed at hearing after waiting period, terminates marriage, divides property, orders spousal support (if any), and changes name.

The flat fee cost does not include fees for issuance of the citation or service of citation. The cost for issuance of citation is generally about $100. The cost to serve citation is generally between $75 - $150.00. The client is responsible for paying these fees in advance if required. If issuance and service are required, we will notify you and require payment prior to proceeding.

The fee does not include copies or certified copies of the Final Decree of Divorce. The client is responsible for paying for such copies at the time of the final hearing.
After buying our service or document, please fill out the associated questionnaire and email it back to us. This questionnaire helps us gather critical information to draft your documents or commence your case. Our team will review your responses and ask for further details if needed.

If you have questionnaire-related questions, you can arrange a 15-minute initial phone/Zoom meeting with us.

For Documents: After we get your completed questionnaire, we'll prepare your documents and email them to you. You are allowed to request two substantive revisions without any extra charges. Substantive changes beyond this or due to a change of mind will incur additional costs. Corrections of our errors or filling in missing information do not count towards the two-revision limit. The final step is to sign the documents at our Westlake office or other Austin locations.

For Legal Proceedings: We'll arrange an initial phone or Zoom meeting after receiving your completed questionnaire. We'll discuss your case, ensure the flat-fee model suits your needs, and establish a tentative schedule. If the flat-fee model doesn't suit your situation, you can switch to an hourly fee model, or we'll refund your payment (subject to our Terms & Conditions). Each case will have unique requirements and timelines.
