Round Rock, TX Contested Divorce Lawyer

A contested divorce is one where you and your spouse cannot agree on everything, and it helps to know from the start how the process actually unfolds. SMB Law, PC guides Round Rock clients through disputed divorces with a clear plan and honest expectations about timing and outcomes.

Many Round Rock divorces involve two working parents, a home bought in a competitive market, and retirement or stock accounts tied to the area’s tech employers — assets that take real work to value and divide fairly.

Where a Round Rock contested divorce is filed

Round Rock sits primarily in Williamson County, so your divorce is filed with the Williamson County District Clerk at the Justice Center in Georgetown, assuming you meet the residency requirement. Knowing how those courts handle temporary orders and scheduling helps us set realistic expectations early.

Timeline, temporary orders, and dividing the estate

Texas requires at least 60 days from filing before any divorce is final, and a contested Round Rock case usually runs longer. Early on, temporary-orders hearings often set the interim rules — who stays in the house, how bills and parenting are handled while the case is pending — so those first weeks matter. You must also meet the residency requirement of six months in Texas and 90 days in Williamson County, and Texas divides the marital estate in a way that is ‘just and right,’ not automatically 50/50.
