Uncontested divorce or simple divorce is a viable option when both partners are prepared to settle quickly and smoothly. We’ve all heard of stories involving a long, dragged-out divorce battle involving two individuals who can’t seem to bring their marriage to an end. These types of stories, while common, do not have to be the only way out. In the state of Texas, you can get a simple divorce if terms such as child custody, alimony, child support, and asset division are all mutually agreed upon.   

Here are the reasons you and your soon-to-be-ex-partner should consider a simple divorce:

Reason #1: Save Time and Money.

This is by far one of the biggest reasons why couples choose a simple divorce. In contested divorces or traditional divorces, the process can last years as both parties attempt to meet one another’s schedule and decide how to reasonably split assets. As the saying goes, time is money. This is never more true than in divorce. Contrary to spending time and money in legal meetings, a skilled attorney in simple divorces will save you thousands by avoiding half the amount of legal paperwork and attorney fees.   

Reason #2: Avoid a Trial.

When couples are unable to settle matters through mediation, a trial is the next option. In the state of Texas, a divorce trial can cost up to $20,000 in legal fees alone. Generally, trials last between 1 to 2 full working days. Since they take place during the workweek, you will have to request up to 2 days of time off from work to sit in a courtroom and listen to a lengthy argument between your partner’s attorney and the attorney representing you. Not to mention, you might have to listen to testimonies on behalf of individuals who may want to defend your partner’s case. You can avoid this entire debacle through a simple divorce.    

Reason #3: Move on With Your Life Sooner.

The reality of your stressful situation is that it will eventually come to an end and you can begin a fresh new chapter as a single person. No one goes into marriage with divorce in the back of their minds, at least we hope they don’t. But now that you’ve found yourself in this nightmare of a situation, it’s time to bring it to an end. Statistically speaking, 90% of divorce cases will get settled before going to trial. Instead of putting yourself through an even greater amount of misery, consider the alternative and bring your marriage to a close sooner.
