    Reason for Inquiry:

  • Q: I have filed for an uncontested divorce. There are no minor children and no dispute over property. What forms do I need to complete next?

    A: Respondent needs to file either a Waiver of Service OR, Respondent's Original Answer. Petitioner needs to complete a Statement of Evidence (found under important links on this page), Information on Suit (BVS form, found under important links on this page), and a Final Decree of Divorce (found on texaslawhelp.org and under important links on this page). The Final Decree of Divorce has to be signed by both parties. If unable to locate the Respondent, make an appointment to see the Pro Se Clinic Coordinator for further instructions. 

    Q: Does the Respondent have to file a Waiver of Service and Respondent's Original Answer?

    A: No. Respondent only has to file one of these forms. The main difference is, the Waiver of Service requires a notary to witness the signature. The Original Answer does NOT require a notary. Respondent can also provide the form to the Petitioner to file on their behalf.

    Q: What happens after I have turned in all of the required paperwork?

    A: Once your 60 day waiting period has expired, our Pro Se Clinic Attorney will review your paperwork. As long as everything is accurate, your file will go to our Judge for signature to finalize your case. A hearing before the Judge is not required in most cases.
