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:
A Final Decree of Divorce says who gets what. Post-Divorce Administration, free with Texas Divorce Online, helps you keep track of the updates.
Texas is a community property state, so a divorce decree often has a lot to divide. The decree is the order that says who gets the house, the car, the accounts and the debts. It is not the thing that moves them. Texas Divorce Online customers get Disentangle Me's Post-Divorce Administration included, with no extra charge. It usually costs $70 ($35 per spouse); for you it is free.
Until someone updates them, these records still show the old arrangement:
Your decree is an order between you and your former spouse. The organizations that hold your records were not parties to it. A lender has its own conditions for joint loans. A title office needs its own forms. Employers, banks and insurers each keep a separate copy of your details. Nobody tells them for you, and none of them is obliged to act until you ask the way it requires.
The result is a long run of small tasks rather than one big one, and the order and the proof you bring can decide whether a request is accepted or sent back.
Almost every update starts with the same document:
Few people choose to leave these tasks undone. A form is confusing, or an office asks for a document that is not at hand, and the task slides down the list. Months on, the account is still joint, and a small oversight has become a long phone call. Seeing only what applies to you, with your progress beside it, keeps the follow-up moving.
Disentangle Me asks a few questions, then builds your list. It includes:
The work stays with you. The service points out what applies and counts what is done.
Your decree closes the case, and the follow-up starts the next day. Texas Divorce Online customers receive Post-Divorce Administration at no charge so that the follow-up has a place to happen, and so that a finished case does not leave you with an unfinished list.
What does it cost?
Nothing, for Texas Divorce Online customers. Agencies, lenders and other outside parties may charge their own fees,
which are not part of this add-on.
Is this part of my divorce case?
No. It sits apart from your case and starts once the decree is signed.
Will Disentangle Me complete the updates for me?
No. The work stays with you. The service points out what applies and keeps count of what is done.
Is this legal advice?
No. It supports the administrative side only. A licensed Texas attorney can answer questions about what your decree
means.
What does setup involve?
An account, then a short run of mostly yes-or-no questions, about 2 to 3 minutes in all.
What should I have within reach?
Your decree, your ID, and statements from any joint account.
How do I reach someone?

Disentangle Me gives this to Texas Divorce Online customers at no charge. It is administrative support rather than legal advice, and it excludes fees from courts, agencies, lenders and other outside parties.
