Texas Attorney Dan Krieger represents clients who are seeking an uncontested divorce. Generally, uncontested divorces are appropriate for situations where the former couple agrees on child custody and support issues and are in agreement about how the property is to be divided.
Uncontested divorces are also available when there are no children of the marriage or substantial community property from the marriage. One party typically files the divorce with the other spouse signing a waiver of service. After the 60 day waiting period, the filing party meets Dan Krieger at the courthouse and proves the factors the court needs to grant the divorce. These include meeting requirements of residency in Texas, time living in the county, determining if there are children of the marriage or expected, and that the marriage is now insupportable. If the uncontested divorce becomes contested, the Krieger Law Firm is also prepared to deal with that contingency.
The main benefits of the uncontested divorce are cost and time. It is less expensive because there is typically one attorney on the case and the time requirements on the case are not as involved as they are in a “nuclear” divorce involving extensive discovery, hearings, mediation, etc… The parties need to know that while the attorney may answer general questions for the party that didn’t hire him, he can never represent both parties. In other words, if the husband hires the attorney and the wife wants legal advice, she needs to contact her own attorney.
