EP14: The Truth About Uncontested Divorce in Texas: Agreements, Risks, and Legal Steps

On this episode of Behind The Case, Attorneys Tyler Monahan and Tina Campbell of Turner Monahan PLLC walk through the reality behind uncontested divorces. While the term may sound simple, they explain that true agreement between both parties is far less common than most assume.

Tyler and Tina cover what uncontested really means from a legal perspective, why vague plans like “visitation as agreed” can lead to future issues, and how experienced attorneys can help prevent long-term conflicts. “Every single case is a thumbprint,” Tyler notes, explaining why no divorce is ever truly routine. From timelines to temporary orders, they discuss the small decisions that can shape larger outcomes.

The conversation also dives into how to handle disagreements around finances, child support, and living arrangements while waiting for a divorce to be finalized. Tina reminds listeners that even in peaceful separations, having structure is key. “There needs to be something more specific in your order... in case you don’t agree in the future.”
