Comprehensive Guidance
Divorce can be a complicated and emotionally draining process. If you’re contemplating or currently undergoing a divorce in Great Hills, Texas, understanding local procedures and requirements can alleviate some stress. This guide outlines everything from filing for divorce to finalizing the process in Great Hills.
Filing for Divorce
- Residency Requirements: To file for divorce in Great Hills, either you or your spouse must have resided in Texas for at least six months and in Great Hills for at least 90 days.
- Grounds for Divorce: Texas permits both no-fault and fault-based divorces. The most common ground is “insupportability,” meaning the marriage cannot continue due to irreconcilable differences. Fault-based grounds include adultery, cruelty, abandonment, felony conviction, and living apart for at least three years.
- Filing the Petition: The process begins by filing an Original Petition for Divorce with the Great Hills District Clerk’s Office. The filing fee varies, so check the current fee schedule or contact the clerk’s office for the latest information.
- Serving the Spouse: After filing, the petition must be served to the other spouse unless they waive their right to formal service. This can be done via a process server, sheriff, or mail if the spouse agrees to waive formal service.
Responding to a Petition
If served with divorce papers, you have a specific timeframe to respond. Typically, you have 20 days plus the next Monday to file an Answer. Failure to respond can result in a default judgment against you.
Temporary Orders
During the divorce process, either spouse can request temporary orders to address immediate issues such as child custody, support, and use of marital property. These orders remain in effect until the final divorce decree is issued.
Mediation and Settlement
Texas encourages mediation to resolve disputes outside of court. Mediation involves a neutral third party helping the spouses reach an agreement. In Great Hills, many cases are settled through mediation, saving time and legal expenses.
