What Is the Contested Divorce Process?

In Texas, the divorce process begins when one member of the couple files a Petition for Divorce with the court. When that happens, the other spouse can receive legal notice several different ways. The non-filing spouse can then provide an answer expressing that they do not agree with the terms of the divorce and wish to contest them.

Once a divorce petition is contested in Texas:

The court may issue a temporary order considering child custody, alimony, etc. for the duration of the divorce.

These are just the broad strokes of the contested divorce process. For a better understanding, call the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC today. Their team is ready to hear your story and diligently pursue your post-divorce goals throughout every stage of this process.
