PLEASE NOTE: This book is valid through August 2019. Nolo Press Occidental decided not to publish an edition for 2017-2019 because there were no changes to the forms, and only minor changes in Texas divorce law. Readers can download an explanation of these minor changes in the law by using the web address provided at the bottom of the inside back cover of this book.
This guide shows those in the Lone Star State how to complete their own divorce for $200 or less. The first part explains how the laws work, how to divide the marital property and settle issues of child custody and support, and it helps readers reach agreement with the other spouse, keeping the divorce uncontested. The second part details how to complete and file the tear-out forms included at the back of the book. A CDROM included contains all the forms, schedules, and worksheets in the printed book for completion on a computer. Also included are addresses and Web links of all the Texas county courthouses and relevant portions of the Texas Family Code. Updated biennially, the book reflects the most current actions of the Texas Legislature.
