Divorce with Confidence
Under Texas law, a mandatory 60-day waiting period applies after filing your Original Petition for Divorce with the District Court. This waiting period must pass before a judge can finalize your divorce.
This 60-day requirement — often called a “cooling-off period” — is designed to give both parties time to reflect and possibly reconcile before the divorce becomes final.
Filing your case promptly starts the 60-day clock sooner, helping you reach finalization faster. However, please note that the judge will not sign your Final Decree of Divorce until the 60 days have passed — and not always immediately after. The timing may vary depending on the court’s schedule, the judge’s availability, and local procedures.
Texas Family Code § 6.702(a)
A court may not grant a divorce before the 60th day after the date the suit was filed.
The court may waive the 60-day requirement only in very limited circumstances, such as:
Divorce in Texas doesn’t have to be expensive. Traditional law firms often charge thousands in retainers and hourly fees — even for agreed divorces.

The most predictable cost is the mandatory court filing fee, which varies by county. In most counties, this fee ranges from $250 to $350 and is paid directly to the District Clerk unless waived.
If you’re unable to afford the filing fee, we can provide a form to request a fee waiver. Only the court can approve the waiver.

The court filing fee is required in every case unless waived. Most Texas counties charge $250–$350, payable directly to the court. If you select our Fully Guided Service, we’ll collect and submit this fee with your e-filing. Otherwise, we’ll provide clear instructions to pay the court directly.
If you qualify based on financial hardship, we’ll help you request a court fee waiver using the Affidavit of Inability to Pay form.
