Austin Divorce Lawyer
Protecting What Matters Most

How much does a divorce lawyer cost in Austin?

It depends on how much the two of you already agree on. An uncontested divorce in Austin typically runs $2,500 to $6,000 in attorney fees plus about $300 to $400 in court costs. Contested cases usually fall between $10,000 and $25,000, and complex cases with businesses or custody disputes can exceed that. Eric gives a clear fee estimate at the consultation. See the full breakdown on our divorce cost page.

How long does a divorce take in Texas?

Texas requires a 60-day waiting period after filing, so the fastest divorce is about two months. Agreed divorces usually finish in two to three months; contested cases take six to twelve months depending on the court's calendar and whether custody or property is disputed.

Which counties do you serve?

All counties across Central Texas. Most of our cases are in Travis, Williamson and Hays counties, and Eric appears regularly in the Austin, Georgetown and San Marcos family courts. Consultations are available by phone, video or at our office on Southwest Parkway.

How fast can I get a consultation?

Same-day or next-day consultations are usually available. Call (512) 478-0834 any day between 6am and 10pm, or send the form on this page at any time and we will call you back. If you have been served or have a hearing date, say so when you call and we will prioritize it.

Will I have to go to court?

Most family law cases settle without a trial. Agreed divorces end with a short prove-up hearing, and many contested cases resolve at mediation. When a case does need a judge, Eric has tried family law cases in Travis County courts for over two decades and prepares every case as if it will be tried.

How is child support calculated in Texas?

Texas uses a guideline percentage of the paying parent's net monthly resources: 20% for one child, 25% for two, up to 40% for five or more, applied to the first $11,700 of net monthly resources (the cap set September 1, 2025). Courts can deviate for special needs, travel costs or very high incomes. Our child support page and calculator walk through the math.
