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:
Texas law section Sec. 105.009, known as the Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course, indicates that Texas courts may require divorcing or separating parents with minor children to complete a parenting course. The law indicates that the course must be taken within 60 days suit affecting the parent-child relationship being filed with the court. Some courts will not finalize your divorce case until both parents complete the course.
The average cost of the course is about $35 per parent. Online course are accepted. We recommend the course provided by OurParentingClass.com as it is an approved Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course and meets the Texas Courts’ requirements.
The course is only $25 and can be taken online. Under Texas law you do not have to pass a test to receive your certificate of completion. Simple register, watch the videos and receive your certificate.
