File Your Own Divorce in Texas: Free Downloadable Divorce Forms
Sadly, over 50% of marriages fail. To add insult to injury, divorce proceedings can take years and cost thousands of dollars in legal fees. However, it is possible to file your own divorce in Texas for no more than the state divorce form filing fees. This page provides all of the forms you need to initiate your do-it-yourself divorce in Texas.
How to file for Annulment or Divorce in Texas:
To file for an Annulment file the Annulment Petition. Your spouse then must file an Annulment Answer. Any Annulment Waiver can be filed to give up certain rights of notice (see the description for the form for a full description of the form). To officially terminate the marriage via an Annulment an Annulment Decree must be filled out. It is recommend that you contact a lawyer to make sure you have filled out the proper forms before getting an Annulment Decree.
To file for Divorce fill out an Original Petition for Divorce. Your spouse must then file a Respondent's Original Answer form or the Divorce will go into Default. If the Divorce goes into Default and you are unaware of where your spouse is located file a Certificate of Last Known Address and a Military Status Declaration. The Military Status Declaration is to inform the Court whether or not your spouse failed to respond in time due to being in the military or not. If the Divorce goes into Default also make sure to contact a lawyer. If the Divorce does not go into Default fill out an Information on Suit Affecting the Family Relationship form and an Unsworn Declaration of Indigency. You also can file for a Waiver of Service to waive certain rights (see the description of the form for more details). If you have children you might have to fill out the Exhibit: Out-of-State Party Affidavit (if you or your spouse lives in another state) or the Income Withholding for Support Order (if your spouse owes child support). To finally end the marriage you have to fill out the Final Decree of Divorce BEFORE your Court date. Once the judge signs the form you are officially Divorced.
