Humble Divorce Lawyer
By Samantha E. Frazier, Family Law Attorney, State Bar of Texas
Quick answer: Humble sits in northeast Harris County, so residents file for divorce in the Harris County Family District Courts in downtown Houston. To file, one spouse must have lived in Texas for at least six months and in Harris 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. CoilLaw’s family law attorneys guide Humble families through every step.

Divorce in Harris County, Texas: What to Expect
Understanding the process removes much of the anxiety around it. Here is how a divorce works for Humble residents.
Where you file
Humble is part of northeast Harris County, so residents file with the Harris County District Clerk, and cases are heard in the Harris County Family District Courts at the Family Law Center in downtown Houston.
Who can file
You meet the residency requirement if one spouse has lived in Texas for at least six months and in Harris 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 Humble?
Humble is in northeast Harris County, so residents file with the Harris County District Clerk, and cases are heard at the Family Law Center in downtown Houston. You must meet the state and county residency requirements before filing.
How long does a divorce take in Harris County?
Texas requires a minimum 60-day waiting period from filing before a divorce is final. An uncontested Harris County divorce often finishes in about 60 to 90 days, while contested cases can take several months to more than a year.
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 discovery in a divorce?
Discovery is the formal exchange of information between spouses, including financial records, asset inventories, and answers to written questions. It ensures both sides have the facts needed to reach a fair settlement or prepare for trial.
What happens to the family home in a Texas divorce?
The home is often community property. Options include selling and dividing the proceeds, one spouse buying out the other, or one spouse keeping the home in exchange for other assets, depending on your finances and children’s needs.
Who decides custody of the children?
Texas courts decide conservatorship and possession based on the best interest of the child. Parents are often named joint managing conservators, with a possession schedule setting each parent’s time with the children.
