When Mediation and Collaborative Divorce Efforts Fail

Anytime a divorce fails mediation efforts and proceeds to trial, the stakes become significantly higher. The focus shifts from determining a fair, equitable arrangement to what often may become a winner-take-all struggle.

At Loveless & Loveless, we understand how emotionally draining and stressful such proceedings can be and how this is only exacerbated by the personal and emotional toll a divorce takes on our clients and their families. That’s why we do everything in our power to make divorce litigation proceedings as easy on you as possible. What’s more, we can offer legal clarity and a clear point of view during overly emotional disputes concerning property and children.

The Process of a Contested Divorce

When a couple cannot agree about how to settle differences during a divorce, the state of Texas becomes involved through the court system. The process may vary based upon the county and specific circumstances of your divorce, but the process in the state of Texas for a contested divorce is:

  1. Pleadings are the first part of the hearing, in it “Standing Orders” are typically issued that go into effect the moment the court files the case. It is not unusual for a temporary restraining order to be included at this stage along with other filings.
  2. The spouse who files for divorce must “serve” the other spouse the divorce. In Texas, the “respondent,” or the spouse being served, has a short window of time they can respond.
  3. A temporary is held where the Judge can issue orders that will hold while the divorce is still pending. These usually address things like support, custody, and visitation.
  4. The next phase is the discovery phase where both parties gather and present information that supports their case. It is vital you have an experienced attorney help you with this.
  5. Next the divorce is finalized and the court makes a decision on contested assets, businesses, properties, and if applicable, custody rights.
