Can I Get A Divorce During The Pandemic

Can I Get A Divorce During The Pandemic?

As if the normal stresses of divorce weren’t enough, having to navigate divorce proceedings during a pandemic can be downright overwhelming. Social isolation has been difficult for families across the globe, but especially for those who are enduring difficulties at home. Unfortunately, many things are uncertain right now as businesses in all industries struggle to pay their employees’ salaries, our stock market fluctuates severely, and the real estate market is in an uncertain place. It may seem impossible to come to a divorce agreement at this time that is beneficial or sustainable for both or either party.

 

All of the confusion and uncertainty has left many people wondering, “Can I get a divorce during the pandemic?”

 

The simple answer is, yes.

 

However, many courts are closed or operating under strict COVID-19 guidelines, which may slow your divorce process down if you are in deep negotiations for your divorce agreement.

 

For couples that are looking for an amicable divorce and have similar ideas about the best way to divide their property and assets, a divorce during this pandemic does not have to be made complicated by the current circumstances. A divorce can be as simple as filing paperwork with the courts. The divorce attorneys at Renken Law Firm in Galveston, TX, can help to quickly get you the correct forms in order to begin the divorce process immediately. Texas requires 60 days after the initial divorce petition is filed before the divorce can be finalized.
