  • Texas divorce with minor children: $119.99 launch price.

Texas Court Filing Fee

Texas divorce filing fees vary by county, but many filers should expect approximately $250 to $350. The fee is paid to the county District Clerk when the petition is filed. DivorceReady does not collect, control, or refund court filing fees.

Possible Extra Costs

Some cases have small additional costs depending on the county and how service is handled.

  • Notary fee for a Waiver of Service or other sworn forms.
  • Process server or sheriff fee if your spouse will not sign a waiver.
  • Certified copies after the decree is signed.
  • Convenience or provider fees connected to e-filing, depending on the provider used.

Low-Cost Texas Divorce Path

The lowest-cost path is usually an agreed, uncontested divorce where both spouses cooperate, the respondent signs a Waiver of Service, and the filing spouse prepares and files as a self-represented filer. That avoids attorney drafting fees, contested hearings, and service expenses in many cases.

This is exactly the type of case DivorceReady is built for: clear, agreed, self-represented document preparation.

When Low Cost Is Not the Safest Goal

If there is domestic violence, a protective order, a spouse who will not sign, hidden money, complicated property, immigration concerns, or serious custody conflict, saving money should not be the only priority. Those situations may require legal advice from a licensed Texas attorney.
