Most divorces involve some degree of dispute whether over one specific matter or even all issues before the court. Unlike an uncontested divorce case, contested divorces are those where the spouses cannot agree on how to divide all of their community property and how they will raise and support their children after the divorce is final. Due to the need for written discovery to ascertain the nature of the contest, busy court dockets, and time required for negotiation, mediation, and filing of appropriate motions, very few contested divorces can be finalized within 60, 90 or even 120 days. In fact, most contested divorces in the Fort Worth area take much longer - up to 18 months or more if a final trial is necessary to decide the issues in dispute.
