Spouses get divorced for a variety of reasons. One reason is that one or both of the spouses wants to marry someone else.

Before either spouse can remarry, however, they must get a divorce. Once the divorce is finalized, both former spouses must wait at least 30 days before they can legally remarry. However, the 30-day waiting period can be waived by the divorce judge.

According to Texas divorce law, there is no such thing as legal separation. While this provision exists in other states, couples filing for divorce cannot be granted this status in Texas.

In some cases, spouses can be granted temporary orders in courts, in which some of the provisions may seem like a legal separation. However, spouses should realize that until the divorce is finalized they will continue to amass community property and debt.

After a divorce, one of the former spouses may want to change their last name. In most cases, former spouses choose to change their name to their former name that they had before their divorce.

This process is often known as restoration of former name. While it’s typically done by the former wife, it can be done for either spouse. Changing the last name involves some minor legal complications that should be discussed with an experienced attorney.

When parents file for divorce, one issue they need to resolve is the child custody issue. While some couples can agree to a visitation schedule, some rely on the court to settle it for them.

In Texas, visitation schedules are partially dictated by the Standard Possession Order. This law dictates that the parent who does have possession of the children to have possession of the children on the first, third, and fifth weekends each month, as well as additional times during the school year.
