Welcome to Texas Divorce Online

TexasDivorceOnline.com is a 100% virtual, attorney-managed divorce experience.

It’s a modern and flexible way to start and complete your uncontested divorce in Texas. It’s fast, affordable, and easy.

Unlike do-it-yourself websites or automated form generators, every case on this website is managed by a licensed Texas attorney who prepares your divorce documents, ensures legal compliance, and provides clear instructions for what happens next. You and your spouse can even sign and notarize documents remotely with our online notary option.

From start to finish, we guide you through each step, securely, efficiently, and in full compliance with Texas law.

 

✅ How It Works – 4 Simple Steps

Step 1: Attorney-Prepared Documents

Complete our secure online questionnaire. A licensed Texas attorney reviews your answers and drafts all required divorce documents, customized for your situation and compliant with your county’s District Court.

Step 2: Review, Sign & Notarize

You and your spouse review your documents. Then, sign and notarize them either online (if selected) or in person. But documents must be signed and notarized in the proper order and in coordination with the court filing. We’ll guide you through every requirement and ensure everything is legally complete.

Step 3: File with the Court

File your case with the District Court in your county. If you selected our Fully Guided Service, we handle the e-filing of the Petition and Answer for you. Otherwise, we provide instructions for self-filing.

Step 4: Finalize Your Divorce

After Texas’s 60-day waiting period, you’ll attend a short court hearing to finalize your divorce. We provide step-by-step hearing instructions and ensure all documents are ready for court. Optional attorney hearing support is available in select counties.
