How Much Does a Divorce Cost in Texas?

The cost of a Texas divorce is driven almost entirely by how many issues are contested, not by the divorce itself. Every case carries the same fixed pieces โ€” the district clerk's filing fee set by the county, the cost of service or a signed waiver, and the 60-day waiting period under Texas Family Code ยง 6.702 โ€” while the variable cost comes from temporary orders hearings, formal discovery, mediation, expert valuation of a business or retirement plan, and trial. An agreed divorce with a signed decree sits at the low end; a divorce with disputed conservatorship or disputed property characterization sits at the high end.
