Reasons to Contest a Divorce in Texas
Disagreement on Divorce Terms
When spouses can’t agree on key issues like custody, support, or asset division, a contested divorce may be necessary to resolve the dispute in court.
Concealment of Assets
When one party hides income or property, the other may contest the divorce to reveal hidden assets and protect financial interests.
Fault-Based Grounds
A spouse may contest the divorce by alleging fault, such as adultery, cruelty, or abandonment, which can affect property division or spousal support.
Dispute Over Division of Property
If there’s disagreement about how to divide marital property, a contested divorce lets the court decide based on fairness and Texas law.
Enforcement of Prenuptial Agreement
If one spouse challenges or refuses to honor a valid prenuptial agreement, the other may contest the divorce to enforce its terms.
Spousal Maintenance Disagreement
When spouses disagree over whether or not spousal support should be awarded, or how much, a contested case may be needed.
