How much does a divorce lawyer cost in Austin?

It depends on how much the two of you already agree on. At this firm an uncontested divorce typically runs $5,000 to $7,500 in attorney fees plus about $300 to $400 in court costs. Contested divorces start at $10,000, and cases with a business, hidden assets or a custody dispute cost more. You get an estimate at the consultation, and the full breakdown is 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.

Will Eric work on my case?

How fast can I get a consultation?

Call (512) 478-0834 any day between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., or send the form on this page at any time. The team runs a conflict check and books the consultation, usually within one business day. If you have been served or have a hearing date, say so when you call so it can be prioritized.

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, the firm prepares it for trial from the start.

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 walks through the math.
