Pflugerville, TX Contested Divorce Lawyer

Before a Texas court can even hear your divorce, you have to be eligible to file there — and in a growing community like Pflugerville, where people move often, that is worth confirming early. SMB Law, PC helps Pflugerville spouses file correctly and handle a contested divorce from start to finish.

Pflugerville’s young, mobile, tech-connected community means spouses have often lived in Texas or Travis County for varying lengths of time, which makes the residency question a real first step.

Where a Pflugerville contested divorce is filed

Pflugerville is in Travis County, so a divorce is filed with the Travis County District Clerk at the Civil and Family Courthouse on Guadalupe Street — a few blocks from our office, where we appear regularly.

Residency, waiting period, and property division

To file for divorce in Texas, one spouse must have lived in the state for six months and in the county for 90 days before filing — a threshold worth checking in a mobile community like Pflugerville. Once you qualify, a mandatory 60-day waiting period applies before the divorce can be final, and contested cases run longer. Texas divides the marital estate in a way that is ‘just and right,’ not automatically even, and fault can factor into that division.
