Hiring a Divorce Lawyer vs. DIY Divorce in Texas

Texas allows any party to represent themselves pro se, and for a short, childless marriage with no real property, no retirement accounts, and full agreement, a DIY divorce using the Texas Supreme Court's approved forms can work. Representation becomes materially more valuable whenever the case involves children, a house, a business, retirement assets requiring a qualified domestic relations order, or any disagreement — because a Texas divorce decree divides property once, and a decree that omits or misdescribes an asset is difficult to reopen after the plenary power of the court expires.
