How Does the Divorce Process Work in Dallas County?
The divorce process generally starts with filing a petition for divorce. After filing, the other spouse is served with the papers and has the opportunity to respond. This leads to the discovery phase, where both parties exchange information related to assets, debts, and other pertinent details.
