Conroe Divorce Attorney

By Samantha E. Frazier, Family Law Attorney, State Bar of Texas

To file, one spouse must have lived in Texas for at least six months and in Montgomery County for at least 90 days. Texas requires a 60-day waiting period before a divorce is final, and marital property is divided in a way the court finds just and right.

Divorce in Montgomery County, Texas: What to Expect

Understanding the process removes much of the anxiety around it. Here is how a divorce works for Conroe residents.

Where you file

Conroe is the Montgomery County seat, so residents file with the Montgomery County District Clerk and appear in the county’s district courts right in Conroe, which is convenient compared to many nearby communities that must travel to the county seat.

Who can file

You meet the residency requirement if one spouse has lived in Texas for at least six months and in Montgomery County for at least 90 days before filing.

How long it takes

Texas requires a 60-day waiting period from filing before a divorce can be finalized. Uncontested cases often resolve in about 60 to 90 days, while contested cases can take several months to more than a year.

Grounds and property

Most divorces are filed on the no-fault ground of insupportability. Texas is a community property state, so property acquired during the marriage is generally divided in a manner the court finds just and right, which does not always mean an even split.

Children and conservatorship

Texas decides parenting through a Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship, using conservatorship rather than custody and possession and access rather than visitation, guided by the best interest of the child.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I file for divorce if I live in Conroe?

Conroe is the Montgomery County seat, so residents file with the Montgomery County District Clerk and appear in the district courts right in Conroe. You must meet the state and county residency requirements before filing.

What is the 60-day waiting period in a Texas divorce?

Texas law requires at least 60 days to pass between the date you file the divorce petition and the date the court can finalize the divorce. It applies to nearly every divorce, so even an agreed case cannot be completed faster than that.

How much does a divorce cost in Texas?

The cost depends on whether the divorce is contested and how complex the assets and custody issues are. An uncontested divorce costs far less than a case that goes to trial. During your consultation, we explain our fees clearly and what drives them.

What is the difference between conservatorship and custody in Texas?

Conservatorship is simply the Texas term for what many people call custody. It defines each parent’s rights and duties regarding the children, while possession and access describes the schedule of time each parent spends with them.

Does adultery affect a divorce in Texas?

It can. While Texas allows no-fault divorce, adultery is a recognized fault ground and can influence how a court divides community property. Whether to raise it is a strategic decision we help you weigh.

How is child support calculated in Texas?

Texas uses guideline percentages of the paying parent’s net resources, roughly 20 percent for one child and increasing with additional children, subject to adjustment based on the child’s needs.
