A practical path to an agreed divorce
You may be closer to a finished agreement than you think.
Many clients already agree on the direction of the divorce but still need help turning broad understandings into complete, workable terms. The consultation identifies what is settled, what remains open, and the decisions needed before the case can be completed.
Full-service guidance for an agreed divorce
Advice, documents, filing, and finalization
The firm helps clients move from the agreement they have today to the complete terms and court-ready case needed to pursue a final divorce.

Review the progress already made
Start with the terms the spouses have already discussed or resolved. The firm identifies the subjects that are settled, the details that need clarification, and the decisions still required.
02
Advise and complete the terms
Discuss proposed terms, practical tradeoffs, and the client’s interests. When remaining issues can be resolved, the agreement is developed into clear, workable provisions.
03
Prepare and file the case
The firm prepares the required pleadings and agreed documents, files the case, and coordinates the information, review, signatures, and procedural steps needed along the way.
04
Guide the case through finalization
Nick Davis Law helps the client navigate the agreed-divorce process toward the final decree and any related completion documents.
Build from the progress already made
Start the Consult with the Agreement You Have. We Make Suggestions for you to Complete it.
You do not need to have a perfectly written agreement or every legal phrase figured out. Many spouses have settled the big picture but still need help identifying a few missing terms, comparing practical options, and turning their decisions into provisions that can actually be used in a final decree.
The attorneys at Nick Davis Law will discuss with you the proposed terms, make suggestions for important tradeoffs and whether the arrangement serves the client’s interests. It is important that the client already has a thorough understanding of the extent of the marital property and debts as uncontested divorces do not entail conducting discovery or true financial investigation on the part of the firm as that process is for contested cases and is typically where most contested cases get expensive.
As soon as the spouses have agreed on the remaining terms of the divorce proceeding, including all the terms of possession and access, and parental rights and duties for children, the firm prepares and files the case documents, moves the case throught the steps required for finalization.

The consultation
Bring the progress you have made. Leave with a clearer path forward.
The first discussion focuses on the spouses, children, property, debt, and the agreement as it currently exists. Nick Davis Law can identify terms that need more precision, explain practical and legal tradeoffs, and evaluate whether the proposed agreement and the matter fit the firm’s uncontested-divorce service.
You are not expected to know every detail of your agreement with your spouse before your initial consult. The goal is to understand what has already been decided, identify the remaining choices, and determine whether those issues can be resolved so the agreement can be prepared and the case can move forward.
If a material issue remains disputed, the case may not yet be ready for an agreed filing. The consultation can still clarify what is preventing completion and what an appropriate next step may be.
Frequently asked questions
Answers that help you move forward.
Use these general answers to identify the questions worth discussing. Advice for a particular case depends on its facts, documents, deadlines, and engagement terms.
What makes a Texas divorce uncontested?
The spouses need an agreement that ultimately addresses the subjects the final decree must resolve. They do not have to arrive with perfect legal language. Many clients begin with the major terms settled and use the consultation to identify the details that still need to be developed.
Is agreeing to end the marriage enough?
It is an important start, but the final documents also need to address the property, debt, and any child-related subjects that apply. The firm can help identify those decisions and turn the agreement into workable terms.
Can an uncontested divorce involve children or a house?
It can, but the agreement and documents must address the additional subjects those circumstances create. The suitability of an uncontested service depends on the complete facts and the stability of the agreement.
Does one lawyer represent both spouses?
In Texas, a lawyer can’t represent both spouses. One lawyer represents one client. While the other spouse may choose separate counsel, that typically makes a case turn contested or at the very least it becomes more entailed than a typical uncontested divorce because another attorney may insist on conducting discovery, obtaining Temporary Orders or going to mediation instead of simply review the agreed upon terms of an agreed Decree drafted quickly in the process. This approach is not necessarily wrong, but it does make it so that an uncontested flat fee based divorce is not feasible and as a result the classic retainer with hourly billing fee based structure is the result.
What if the spouses agree generally but not on every detail?
That is common. A consultation can separate minor drafting details from material decisions, explain available options, and determine whether the remaining issues can be resolved within an uncontested-divorce service. Ultimately, if the spouses cannot bridge the gap on all the required terms for an uncontested divorce, a mildly contested divorce is often the only other option wherein the case will most likely settle and resolve after some basic discovery, perhaps a temporary orders hearing, and mediation. That will of course be more costly than the flat fee based uncontested divorce option, and will likely result in hourly billing and the need for a retainer, but it doesn’t have to become an exceptionally expensive divorce if the spouses can quickly bridge the gap.
Does the 60-day point finish the divorce automatically?
No. Texas Family Code section 6.702 generally establishes an earliest date, subject to statutory exceptions. The case still requires the necessary notice, complete documents, signatures, and obtaining a setting on the court’s docket (which can cause the majority of the delay in finalizing the case) and an authorized finalization procedure.
What happens if a spouse changes their mind?
A material dispute can require a different scope, negotiation, mediation, separate counsel, or contested representation that is outside the uncontested-divorce service which typically requires a new agreement for representation based upon hourly charges.
Does requesting an evaluation create an attorney-client relationship?
It does not create an obligation upon the firm to represent you, however, the discussions in the consultation are kept confidential.
