Texas Divorce - Final Decree
Filing final decree of divorce is a step within Texas Divorce - Step by Step.
The Decree of Divorce is the most important document, whether it concerns cases without children, with children, or with children where you already have a court order. It divides property, confirms separate property, and outlines the parties' rights regarding custody and visitation. If you have children, many parties opt for a standard possession order (SPO) for visitation. This typically involves Parent B having the child/children every other weekend, one night each week, and alternating holidays. While parties can agree to different arrangements outside of this order, if disagreements arise, the SPO will be enforced. If you prefer a customized possession order, you can fill in the blanks in the Decree. If space runs out, you can attach it as an exhibit to the Decree.
