What is a contested divorce in Texas?
In a contested divorce, the spouses are unable to come to an agreement on issues such as child custody, division of assets, support, and/or other such issues. When spouses cannot agree, they go before the court and the court will make the final decision on all issues they were not able to negotiate. In such situations, the parties hire lawyers to guide them through the process and protect their interest. In contested matters, the litigation process could take longer to conclude, depending upon issues at controversy.
