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.

At our Tarrant County divorce Attorneys are experienced in representing clients in contested divorce cases throughout Fort Worth and surrounding counties. We will compassionately and aggressively stand up for your rights and interests while maintaining a professional relationship with the opposing counsel through all negotiations.

Contested Divorce Process:

  • Consult with an attorney
  • File divorce petition or respond to the petition
  • Discovery
  • Settlement
  • Trial
  • Post-trial motions
  • Appeals

If you will be involved in a contested divorce, you need experienced attorneys to advise, counsel and represent you to ensure that your goals are met. Call today for a consultation and case evaluation regarding your concerns.

Common disputed issues in a contested divorce include:

  • Which spouse will be awarded the home
  • The amount of retirement assets that will be awarded to the spouses
  • Which parent will have primary custody of the children
  • The amount of child support the non possessory parent will pay
  • The geographic area where the children will live in after the divorce is final

While these issues are very common, there are as many types of disputed matters in divorces as there are types of individuals going through divorce. We will work with you and, if necessary, other competent experts such as appraisers, certified public accountants (CPAs), financial planners, psychological evaluators, and communication facilitators, to evaluate your case and either negotiate a fair settlement or present your case to the judge in the most favorable possible light.
