How long does it take for a divorce to be final in the state of Texas?

Answer 1

Technically, there is no "legal separation" in the state of Texas. So one doesn't need to be separated for any amount of time to file for a divorce. One can just file at will. You can still be sharing a residence and have your spouse served. You have to wait at least sixty days before you can go to court and have the divorce granted.

Answer 2

By Texas law, the Judge can't sign the Final Decree of Divorce until the Petition for Divorce has been on file for at least 60 days. So, if you can get an agreed Decree before the judge on day 61, it'd take 61 days.

Answer 3

After your divorce, you are not permitted to remarry another person before the 31st day after the date the divorce was "decreed" (usually meaning the day the Decree was signed). The only proviso is that when "good cause" is shown the court can waive the prohibition against remarriage if a record of the proceedings is made (in open court with a court reporter) or with "written findings of fact" prepared and signed by the Judge.

Answer 4

30 days, unless you get written permission from the judge that granted the divorce.

Any judge's ruling is subject to the judge's plenary power (think do-over) for 30 days, so a judge can fix an error in a ruling. If you had a simple agreed divorce, then it's likely the judge would grant the waiver of the 30-day waiting period. Just ask your divorce lawyer to submit the additional form to the judge when you prove-up the divorce

Answer 5

About 60 days after it is filed for an uncontested, no minor children, and no property.

Answer 6

There is no number of days that you have to be married in TX in order to divorce. You will have to wait at least 60 days for the divorce to become final.

Answer 7

In Canada you are deemed married after a year. In that first year you can get the marriage annulled. With the prospect of annulment in the first year you can also divorce at anytime.

Answer 8

You will have to wait for a full year in texas, before a final divorce.

Answer 9

Regardless of how long you've been separated, you're not divorced until you obtain a divorce from the court (you have to file a petition for divorce)
