Dissolution of a Marriage
Law Office of Bart Denum
Typically when you think of divorce, you think his lawyer, her lawyer, hefty bills and hurt feelings. The end of a marriage is a painful time, and often people do not consider the fact that, especially when children are involved, they will have a relationship with their ex-spouse for a lifetime.
There are various forms divorce can take. Traditional Divorce is one in which both parties are represented by counsel and much of the action takes place under the supervision of the court. This is the most expensive type of divorce, both financially and emotionally.
When the parties feel they can work together reasonably well, but still desire individual legal representation, another form of divorce is the Collaborative Divorce, an option made possible by House Bill 1363, passed by the Texas Legislature in 2001. For parties who can work together to resolve their issues, a Collaborative Divorce offers a less stressful, less adversarial, and less expensive approach to dissolution of a marriage.
A third option is available to you as well. We consider this to be the least damaging approach, as well as the most cost effective, but it is not for everyone. If you and your spouse are able to agree on all the issues, including property, visitation, and child support, this option may be for you. You can file for your uncontested divorce Pro Se (meaning that you are representing yourself). Our office can draw up all the documents for you so that you can rest assured that all the legal formalities have been properly satisfied and all the legal issues properly resolved.
