Welcome

TEXAS UNCONTESTED DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW: How-to and Do-It-Yourself forms and papers from an experienced Texas Divorce and Family Law Attorney.

WELCOME. I'm Sidney Childress, a practicing Texas Lawyer. This website advertises a product of legal service I have developed. I have advertised this service on the internet since 1997. If you want to skip the sales pitch and get to the point, just scroll down the page.

The legal product I offer here is most valuable to 2 groups of divorcing couples who remain able to reach a settlement agreement on their own: 1) those with children who want to make sure they fully understand the legal relationships and obligations of divorced parents, and who want to make sure their legal documents are well drafted, and 2) those who want to make sure they fully understand the division of their marital estate and who want to make sure their legal documents protect their property interests.

Why do I provide this service? With all the para-legals, librarians and corporations practicing law over the internet, some people might like to receive legal services from a real lawyer. I like to provide this service and enjoy having many satisfied customers. It allows me to provide additional training to staff, helps keep them occupied and, as an added bonus, I get to sit at my desk more instead of going to courthouses all the time.

How am I able to provide this service? Before the internet took over lawyer advertising, I advertised this service in newspapers like "the Greensheet" and "the Thrifty Nickel". Since 1993, I have handled hundreds of divorces and other family law cases, including many very difficult ones. My office is run like a business and we provide legal work-product the same way over and over. Our experience and standardized office procedures make us prompt, efficient and effective. I also manage a litigation support service for account managers and debt collection professionals. For more info about this other branch of my office, visit www.attorneys-texas-lawyers.com

FORMS AND PAPERS FOR SIMPLE AND UNCONTESTED DOMESTIC RELATIONS CASES

Statistics confirm that most divorce and family law cases are resolved with minimal disagreement. Many people are able to avoid an unnecessarily contentious or expensive legal proceeding. If your spouse or ex-spouse will agree to sign and return all necessary legal documents, that reflect the agreements you have made, then you have an "uncontested" divorce or family law case and we can help. The Childress Law Office charges fixed, flat fees, in the following ranges, for uncontested divorce and family law services:

$250.00 for a no-fault divorce with no children or property issues;

$400.00 for a no-fault divorce involving minor children, and no property, where the standard child-support and possession schedules are used;

$550.00 for a divorce with no property issues but where provisions regarding children are custom tailored for the parties, such as various "split custody" arrangements or agreements for alternative forms of child support;

For every division of a business or piece of real estate that must be addressed in the FINAL DECREE OF DIVORCE, we charge an additional $150.00. We provide the Deeds needed for the real estate transaction if, for example, a residence is conveyed from one spouse to another. We also see that the Deeds are properly recorded in your County's Real Property Records, at no extra charge.

We charge in the range of an additional $100.00 for every other property issue that must be specifically addressed in the FINAL DECREE OF DIVORCE, including issues like - estate planning or tax issues, division of military retired pay, division of debt or personal items, or retirement plans.

For a "Qualified Domestic Relations Order", we charge $500.00. See our Frequently Asked Questions page for more information about "QDROs".
