Uncontested Divorce: If you and your spouse agree on the terms, we’ll streamline the process and finalize your divorce efficiently, saving you time, stress, and money.

Understanding the Divorce Process in Texas
Divorce doesn’t have to be a mystery. We’re here to guide you through each phase, so you feel empowered, not overwhelmed, whether the divorce is contested or uncontested.
The Texas divorce process typically begins with filing a petition, notifying your spouse, and observing a mandatory 60-day waiting period. During that time, we’ll work closely with you to address key issues like property division, child custody, support, and more.
We believe in transparency, regular updates, and clear expectations. No hidden steps, no surprises — just a clear path forward with a team you can count on. Whether your case is resolved through negotiation or ends up in court, Wood & Sanchez Law will be by your side from start to finish.
Roanoke Divorce FAQs
If I live in Roanoke, where do I file my divorce?
Most Roanoke addresses file in Denton County with the District Clerk at the Denton County Courts Building, 1450 E. McKinney St., Denton, TX 76209. A small portion of Roanoke lies in Tarrant County—if your residence is in that area, you’d file in Tarrant County.
Which court will hear my Roanoke divorce?
Denton County District/Family Courts hear divorce cases for Roanoke residents (courts are inside the Courts Building at 1450 E. McKinney).
Does Denton County issue an automatic standing order in divorce cases?
Yes. Denton County has a county-wide Standing Order Regarding Children, Property, and Conduct of Parties that applies in every new divorce/SAPCR case (updated Feb. 27, 2025).
Is mediation required before a final trial in Denton County?
Many Denton County family courts require mediation before a final trial (for example, the 431st District Court). The county also supports mediation through DCAP and an Online Dispute Resolution program. Your judge’s order controls.
Can we finalize an agreed divorce without going to court in Denton County?
Often, yes. Denton County notes that in agreed cases one party may provide a prove-up affidavit; some situations still require a brief prove-up setting. TexasLawHelp also publishes prove-up affidavit forms.
Where are child-support matters handled for Roanoke divorces?
Support is usually set in your Final Decree of Divorce. Certain Attorney General (IV-D) proceedings are heard in the Title IV-D Child Support Court at the Denton County Courts Building (1450 E. McKinney St., 2nd Floor, Suite 2203).
If my spouse lives in another county (or out of state), where can I file?
You can file where either spouse has lived for 90 days if one spouse has lived in Texas for 6 months. That often means filing in Denton County for Roanoke residents. (Texas Fam. Code §6.301.)
Will custody, child support, and property division be decided within my Roanoke divorce?
Yes—Denton County family courts address conservatorship/possession (custody), child support, and community-property division as part of the divorce case so your parenting plan and property issues are resolved together.
