Divorce in Dallas County
Getting a Divorce in Dallas, Texas"My job is to help you and your spouse agree on how to arrange your divorce - because if you don't decide, a judge will decide for you." Divorce is almost always emotional, but it does not have to be complicated. An uncontested divorce in Texas can take as little as approximately 60 days, even if the couple has children. The divorce practice at the Law Offices of Robert S. Gregg focuses on helping couples obtain uncontested, simple or no-fault divorces with minimum hassle and maximum savings. We understand that you do not want to spend your savings to end your marriage and move on with your life, and we structure our services so that you won't have to. Our divorce practice is led by attorney Tonya Gregg Whitzel, who has divorce and family law experience, including 7 years as a paralegal with this law firm. Obtaining an Uncontested Divorce or Legal Separation in DallasThe first step in getting a divorce decree is to file the divorce petition. One spouse files the petition, which does not have to include the spouses' final agreements on issues like property division, child custody and visitation, child support or alimony. Once the petition is filed, there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period before it is possible to finalize the divorce. This is known as a "cooling off period." These two months are when the spouses should meet and agree on all unresolved issues. If both spouses agree by the end of those 60 days, then the spouse who filed the petition can appear in court with his or her attorney and the judge approves the divorce petition and grants the decree. An Emphasis on Conflict Resolution and Personal ServiceAlthough Attorney Whitzel can only legally represent one of the spouses in the divorce, she makes herself available to meet with both spouses to help find compromises on any remaining conflicts. She also has a tradition of providing highly personal service, which is a hallmark of the Law Offices of Robert S. Gregg. Divorce clients work directly with Ms. Whitzel, not with a paralegal, and she is available as needed for telephone and in-person consultations as the divorce process progresses for each client. At the same time, Ms. Whitzel tries to guide her clients through a cost-efficient divorce process, which often means helping clients do cost-benefit analyses on the benefit of talking through a minor point of spousal disagreement versus the cost of paying an attorney to listen.
