Keep Things in Perspective
- JMC = Joint Managing Conservatorship. In Texas, unless there is family violence, drug use and/or alcoholism, both parties are going to get joint custody.
- Property in the divorce? It is not a hard and fast rule, but yes – the court is going to divide the property on a 50/50 basis. You and your spouse can control that division.
- Collaborative Divorces/Agreed Divorces is about being open, honest with full disclosure. Reaching an agreement following the Texas Family Code.

Property
Retirement. Savings. Investments. Just know – each party will receive approximately 50% of the marital estate. The court will divide it almost equally.
Children
$350.00 If children, real property, investment funds and/or retirement accounts are involved then additional closing documents will be needed such as special warranty deeds, child support withholding order or a qualified domestic relations order. All divorces take a minimum of 60 days in the State of Texas.

WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE FIGHT, CONSIDER THIS:
This Dallas Agreed Divorce site was developed by Earl Jackson to help the people of Dallas and North Texas get their agreed divorce done. Too many times, I have watched couples who had prepared their own divorce get turned down because they didn’t do something right. Neither the Judge nor the clerks can tell you what you did wrong – they are not allowed to do so. They just basically say “I cannot approve the proposed decree.”
Absent extenuating circumstances
Joint Managing Conservator
Absent extenuating circumstances, the court will order a Joint Managing Conservator relationship as to custody. Both parents will receive almost fifty percent of available time with the children – or so says the Texas Standard Visitation Order. Actually, it’s about 45/55 percent of the time.
Agreed divorce will save the community estate (your savings, your salary) significant sums.
Lincoln said, “the only thing a lawyer has to sell is his time.” There are attorney’s out there who enjoy no more satisfaction than a full scale war between spouses. Some are believed to promote it. Why? Attorney’s fees. Agreed divorces do not require the time element and costs that contested cases do, therefore, they lower your expense significantly.
Agreed Divorce minimizes family disruption and the emotional turmoil

Pro-Se Agreed Divorce
So the guy calls me up and says: “the court will not approve my decree, too many mistakes.” Hmmm. . . well, that should have been expected. Divorce decrees and the docs that go with them are very technical documents. The language used is unreadable.
Am I Doing it On My Own?
Well, not really. No doubt you have the right to. But time and again, I get the call “Mr. Jackson, would you look at my documents. The Court said there was some reason they could not approve the documents. Sure – I’m wondering if this is a complete redo or just an editing job?
