Uncontested Divorce in Bell County, TX
Uncontested Divorce – Get a Quick Divorce in Texas
If you are looking to get a divorce, then it will fall into one of two categories: contested or uncontested. Your case is considered "uncontested" if you and your spouse are in agreement about the divorce and able to reach an agreement about every aspect of your divorce agreement.
Uncontested divorce is favorable because it allows you and your spouse to end your marriage quietly, with dignity, and – in many cases – quickly.
At the Law Office of Brett H. Pritchard, the more time we spend with people who are going through the painful process of divorce, the more convinced we become that uncontested divorce is the best way to end the majority of marriages.
As firm believers in finding the best and least expensive way to end a marriage, our Killeen uncontested divorce lawyers would be glad to put our 20 years of experience to work for you in the pursuit of an uncontested divorce in Texas.

Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce in TX
While the most obvious advantage of an uncontested divorce is the lower cost, the simple fact that any money you avoid spending on litigation is better spent on life after divorce, or on your children. This makes uncontested divorce a logical alternative over a protracted court battle.
Benefits of an uncontested divorce include:
- It minimizes costs, therefore making it cheaper than a litigated divorce
- It is less stressful for all parties involved
- Spouses maintain control, instead of relinquishing control to a judge
- Children do much better
- The spouses are more inclined to comply with the final court order
- It's easier and faster than a contested divorce
An uncontested divorce is not optimum in all cases. It is not a good idea when one of the spouses is verbally abusive towards the other spouse, or when there is ongoing domestic violence in the home or relationship. In such cases, the victim and their children need an advocate, and this is difficult to accomplish in the context of an uncontested divorce.
What Issues Need to Be Resolved for an Uncontested Divorce
In an uncontested divorce, both spouses must come to mutual agreements on several key issues to finalize the divorce without going to trial. The primary matters to address are child custody and visitation, property division, spousal support, and debt allocation. Each of these aspects is critical in ensuring a smooth, fair divorce process.
For couples with children, child custody and visitation agreements must prioritize the child's best interests, defining both physical and legal custody arrangements. This includes deciding where the child will primarily live and how decisions affecting their well-being will be made. Additionally, parents must agree on child support and healthcare responsibilities.
Property division is another essential component, requiring an equitable split of marital assets. This includes real estate, vehicles, savings, retirement accounts, and other jointly acquired possessions. Both spouses should also resolve how to divide any marital debts, such as mortgages, credit card balances, and personal loans, as both parties are generally responsible for obligations incurred during the marriage.
Finally, spousal support (or alimony) must be considered if one spouse requires financial support after the divorce. Texas does not automatically award spousal support, so both parties must agree on whether it will be included and the terms, such as the amount and duration.
