I’ve got a divorce coming up, and I already get the shakes thinking about court. Are there ways to handle a divorce without going to court? Or is that always required?

If everything’s agreed, nothing to split, simple conditions, you can minimize court trips and prep almost everything online. For example, in an uncontested divorce texas, if both agree on everything and there are no disputes, the documents can be filled out and submitted online, and the court just formally approves it. But if it’s complicated with property, kids, debts, etc., then the judge decides everything.
