Family Law – Uncontested Divorce

At the Law Office of Laura Vale, PLLC, our family law practice is focused on helping clients navigate uncontested divorces—cases where both spouses are ready to cooperate, communicate, and reach an agreement without the expense and stress of litigation. Attorney Laura Vale provides experienced legal guidance for individuals who want to move forward with dignity, clarity, and control over their own outcomes.

A Collaborative Approach to Divorce

An uncontested divorce is ideal for couples who are ready to negotiate and agree on the terms of their divorce rather than “fight it out” in court. Laura works with individuals who are committed to resolving their divorce amicably, whether they are working directly with their spouse or through the spouse’s attorney.

Laura begins by meeting with one spouse to understand their situation, priorities, and concerns. Once she is retained, she will help open the lines of communication between both parties—either directly with the other spouse or through their attorney—to begin working toward a mutually acceptable Agreed Decree of Divorce.

Mediation to Reach Agreement

Even in uncontested cases, some details—such as property division or child-related matters—may need additional attention. When that happens, Laura can help arrange mediation with a neutral, skilled mediator to assist the spouses in finalizing the terms of their agreement.

Mediation provides a private, structured environment for both spouses to discuss and resolve issues such as:

• Division of the marital estate
• Child custody and conservatorship arrangements
• Possession and access (visitation) schedules
• Child support agreements

A majority of divorce cases in Texas go to mediation—even those that begin as contested. By choosing mediation early in the process, spouses can save significant time and money. More importantly, mediation allows couples to retain control over their divorce terms instead of leaving critical life decisions in the hands of a judge.

Crafting Your Own Divorce Agreement

With Laura’s guidance and a mediator’s assistance when needed, both parties can work together to create a comprehensive Agreed Decree of Divorce that reflects their shared decisions on all necessary issues. Once all terms are agreed upon, Laura ensures that the legal paperwork is properly prepared, filed, and finalized with the court.

By choosing an uncontested divorce process, you can:

• Minimize conflict and emotional strain
• Save on costly litigation fees
• Maintain privacy and control over your own decisions
• Reach resolution faster and more efficiently

Helping You Move Forward
