FAQ
Divorce in Bellaire — FAQs
- How long does a divorce take in Bellaire, TX?
- Texas requires a 60-day waiting period from the day the petition is filed. Uncontested divorces can finalize shortly after that window. Contested cases involving children, businesses, or significant assets commonly run 6 to 18 months.
- Do I have to prove fault to get a divorce?
- No. Texas allows no-fault divorce on the ground of insupportability. Fault grounds (adultery, cruelty, abandonment, felony conviction) still exist and can affect property division or spousal maintenance, but they are not required.
- What is community property?
- Most property and debt acquired during marriage is community property and is divided in a just and right manner by the court. Property owned before marriage, gifts, and inheritances are separate property and are not divided.
