Bexar County Divorces Delayed 6-12 Months If No Attorney

 
SAN ANTONIO - June 5, 2018 - PRLog -- Compared to the rest of the country, the 60-day wait to finalize a Texas divorce is on the shorter side of things, and as long as the right documents are filed, Texans have a relatively easy time getting an uncontested divorce there, even when they represent themselves instead of hiring a lawyer. However, Bexar County divorce filers who either can't afford an attorney or do not want to hire one are currently required to wait an additional six to 12 months to have their documents reviewed by the staff attorney's office before they can get into court to finalize their divorces.  Meanwhile, people who hire attorneys to file for divorce for them can skip the review process and get their divorces finalized as soon as 60 days have passed from the divorce filing date.

Complicating matters for self-represented filers is that the staff attorney's office does not accept phone calls or voice mails and is not open to the public on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons or at all on Friday. Their office recording states that high call volume and minimal staffing are the reasons for this policy, although no specific information has been provided on what the review entails or why it takes so long. "What we also don't know," explains Edward Kenny, DivorceWriter's Director of Online Divorce Products, "is why self-represented divorce filers in bigger counties like Harris, Dallas, and Tarrant aren't experiencing similar delays."
