How to File For Divorce in Texas
Timecodes:
hi this is Joe from how to file for
divorce org and today we're going to
file for divorce in the state of Texas
so if you just come along we're just
going to go right down this step-by-step
guide and just go through these one by
one so step one is to download the Texas
divorce papers by clicking on this link
right here and you'll download all the
necessary Texas divorce papers it will
go through in the next following steps
step two the spouse that has decided to
file for divorce which is means the
either spouse can be the one to take the
lead and file for divorce in Texas but
the person that does needs to file a
Texas divorce petition pay the filing
fee of two hundred and sixty dollars now
this is the state Fein there could be
other county fees but most counties are
two hundred and sixty dollars and also
tell the clerk specifically that your
other spouse will complete a waiver of
citation now we go on to 7/3 after
filing in step two you must send a copy
of your file divorce petition as well as
the waiver of citation that you
mentioned to the clerk in step two an
original and you need to send that
spouse one copy so the non filing spouse
then needs to have the waiver of
citation notarized and if you don't know
what a a form getting notarized is it's
fine it's just a witness that's pointed
by the state there's one every branch
bank in the United States so all you'll
have to do is have your soon-to-be ex
spouse sign one of these waiver of
citations in front of a notary at a
branch bank but it can be anywhere a
notary is found and that needs to be
filed with the clerk so once these first
three steps are done you're really ready
to head into the what I call the meat
and potatoes of the divorce process
which is negotiating all the financial
terms and which will all be in step four
and so you really should both meet and
have you're going to be filling out what
is the final decree of divorce as well
as the following now these are all just
attachments to the final decree of
divorce so for example if you have
children you need to fill out some of
these that have to do with children such
as the child support order and the last
one here
employers order to withhold from
earnings for child support so these are
all that you want to just go through
together and you don't need to file
these yet you just need to have these
all completed at this time because
you're still waiting from the time that
you first file the petition there's a 60
days where you have to just be on hold
and the core kind of gives you this time
to get all these steps done so if you
have children moving along if you have
children after you've agreed on the
terms of the divorce decree as here you
will have to attend parental divorce
education classes and yes I know these
are very annoying
but you have to do this and you might
not want to do it until after you've
negotiated all this so that you know
that your divorce is actually going to
be happening in the near future there
are divorce education classes all over
the state it's probably best to contact
the clerk for the qualified classes in
your area because you're going to be
given a certificate at the very end of
the classes so you just don't want to
make the mistake of going to facility
where you don't know they're accredited
or not so after you've done the
fulfilled all of step four after 60 days
from the time you originally filed the
petition with the clerk you are eligible
to schedule a court hearing date now you
can do this by filling out and filing
the notice of oral hearing and as a form
that's included with the ordered setting
hearing date which is another form
that's included which we sent to the
other spouse by the court
to notify him or her of the day of the
court hearing now what this means is
that you're going to contact the court
and we're going to tell you exactly when
the court date is going to be and they
are going to send notice to the your
spouse after you file this notice of
oral hearing and get that court date and
after that's pretty easy
you go to your court hearing makes four
make four be sure to make four copies of
all your completed forms and you will be
required to file the divorce decree and
that's all set you are now officially
divorced in the state of Texas
