Uncontested Divorce

McKinney, Texas, Uncontested Divorce Attorney

An uncontested divorce is possible when both parties come to an agreement on all of the property and parenting aspects of the separation. At the law office of Barbara L. Jouette, Attorney, P.C., we encourage couples to consider this option, and we educate our clients on the benefits of reaching an amicable divorce settlement without the cost and time involved in a long, drawn-out courtroom battle.

If you and your spouse have come to a decision regarding child custody, child support, and property distribution, we can help you prepare the necessary legal documents to finalize your divorce and allow you to move forward in your lives. Contact our Collin County law firm today to discuss your individual family law needs with a knowledgeable uncontested divorce lawyer.

Mediation

Attorney Jouette is trained in both mediation and the collaborative law process. She is frequently appointed as a mediator by the Collin County Court and regularly facilitates settlement conferences and mediations in which she prepares legal documents for divorcing couples. When couples have come to an uncontested agreement on the terms of their divorce, this option can present substantial savings.

Collaborative Law

The collaborative divorce process allows couples to resolve their parenting and property disputes in a series of settlement conferences instead of going to court. Unlike mediation or settlement negotiations, collaborative law frequently engages accountants, mental health care providers, counselors, and other professionals in the process. Both of the parties and the attorneys have incentive to reach a full agreement without going to court. If an agreement cannot be reached, both parties must start the court process with new attorneys.

Benefits of Uncontested Divorce

Every family is different, with a unique lifestyle, situation, and values. Working together gives you the control to reach an amicable agreement about the future of your children and your property that is in the best interests of your family. By leaving these decisions up to a judge, you risk an outcome that does not take into account the uniqueness of your family. Our firm will guide you in achieving an outcome tailored to your family's needs.
