When you are going through a divorce in Conroe or Montgomery County, the attorney you hire should know the local courts — not be learning them on your time. Our office at 141 N. San Jacinto Street, Conroe TX 77301 is steps from the Montgomery County Courthouse. We practice before the 418th District Court, the 410th District Court, and County Court at Law No. 3 regularly.
Divorce in Texas involves four interconnected issues: property division under community property law, conservatorship and possession of any children, child support calculated under Texas Family Code guidelines, and spousal maintenance where eligibility is met.

We Practice in Your Local Courts Regularly
Divorce and family law cases in Montgomery County are heard at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Conroe. Our office is steps away. We appear in all three courts regularly.
Montgomery County divorce cases are assigned among these three courts. Each court has its own local rules, scheduling preferences, and approach to temporary orders and contested hearings — appearing in them regularly is a concrete advantage.
Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce in Montgomery County
When spouses cannot agree on property division, custody, or support, the case proceeds through litigation in the Montgomery County Family Law Courts. Temporary orders stabilize the situation while the case is pending — addressing who stays in the family home, temporary custody and support, and restraining orders on assets.
Discovery, mediation, and ultimately a trial before the assigned judge determine the outcome. Our firm builds contested divorce cases from the ground up — preserving evidence, documenting assets, and establishing the factual record that drives results at mediation and at trial.
Discuss your contested divorce →When both spouses agree on all terms — property, children, support — the process is significantly faster and less expensive. Texas requires a 60-day waiting period from filing; uncontested divorces often resolve shortly after that window closes with the proper paperwork in place.
For qualifying Conroe-area cases, we offer flat-fee uncontested divorce through 2500Divorce.com — a straightforward, affordable path when both parties have reached full agreement. Court filing fees in Montgomery County are separate from attorney fees.

Just and right division of community property under TFC § 7.001 — real estate, accounts, retirement, business interests, oil & gas assets, and debt allocation
Conservatorship (legal decision-making) and possession schedule — who the children live with and when each parent has access under TFC Chapter 153
Calculated on Texas statutory guidelines under TFC § 154.125 — monthly support, health and dental insurance, unreimbursed medical, and childcare
Court-ordered maintenance under TFC § 8.051 where eligibility is met, or contractual alimony agreed by the parties — amounts and duration negotiated or litigated
Why a Local Conroe Divorce Attorney Matters
Montgomery County has grown significantly in the past decade — Conroe, The Woodlands, Magnolia, and surrounding communities now house hundreds of thousands of residents, many with complex financial situations including oil and gas interests, energy sector employment, real estate investments, and business ownership. Divorce involving these assets requires both Texas family law expertise and familiarity with the local courts that will decide the case.

When you hire our firm, you get attorneys who have been practicing in the Montgomery County Family Law Courts for years — who know the local docket, the local expectations, and what it takes to get results here.

Montgomery County, Texas — A Short History
French explorer René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle evidently passed through what is now Montgomery County in 1687 — making this one of the earliest documented European footprints in Southeast Texas.
The town of Montgomery was founded in July 1837 by W.W. Shepperd on 200 acres in the Lake Creek Settlement. It was named by Shepperd and John Wyatt Moody after Montgomery County, Alabama — which was itself named for Lemuel P. Montgomery, killed at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.
Montgomery County was created on December 14, 1837 — the third county established by the Republic of Texas. The town of Montgomery served as the first county seat for over fifty years.
The first public water well for Montgomery was dug in 1844 by Col. Joseph Bennet at a cost of $202.50, paid by the Commissioner's Court. The well still stands today in the stone fence on the south side of what is now the Community Center on College Street.
In 1889, the county records were moved from Montgomery to Conroe — and Conroe has been the county seat ever since. Today the Montgomery County Courthouse at 301 N. Main Street is where every divorce, custody, and family law matter in this county is decided.
Our office at 141 N. San Jacinto Street is in the heart of historic downtown Conroe — designated a Texas Main Street City in 2006 — steps from the Montgomery County Family Law Courts. Local roots. Local courts. Real results.

(713) 352-6900Divorce FAQ — Conroe & Montgomery County, TX
Texas requires a mandatory 60-day waiting period from the date of filing before any divorce can be finalized — no exceptions apply in Conroe or Montgomery County. Uncontested divorces where both spouses agree on all terms often close within a few weeks of the 60-day mark with the proper paperwork filed.
Contested divorces filed in the Montgomery County Family Law Courts — the 418th District Court, 410th District Court, or County Court at Law No. 3 — typically take six months to over a year depending on the complexity of property and custody disputes and whether the case proceeds to trial. Local docket scheduling and the specific judge assigned affect timing as well.
Divorce and family law cases in Montgomery County are heard at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Conroe. Three courts handle family law matters:
418th District Court, 410th District Court, and County Court at Law No. 3. Cases are assigned among these three courts. Our office at 141 N. San Jacinto Street is steps from the courthouse. We practice in all three courts regularly and understand the local docket practices and expectations specific to each.
To file for divorce in Texas, either spouse must have been a Texas resident for at least six months. To file specifically in Montgomery County, either spouse must have lived in the county for at least 90 days immediately before filing.
Conroe proper (77301–77306, 77316, 77318, 77384, 77385), The Woodlands, Magnolia, Willis, Montgomery, and other unincorporated Montgomery County areas all qualify for filing in this county. If you recently relocated, we will confirm your eligibility during a free consultation.
Yes. Under Texas Family Code § 7.001, the court divides community property in a manner that is “just and right” — and fault in the breakdown of the marriage is a factor courts consider. Recognized fault grounds in Texas include adultery, cruelty, abandonment, and felony conviction.
Proving fault can result in a disproportionate share of the community estate being awarded to the wronged spouse. Fault must be properly pleaded in the petition and supported with evidence at trial — an allegation alone does not produce a result. Whether to plead fault — and how to prove it — is a strategic decision your attorney makes early in the case.
Filing first does not determine the outcome of a Texas divorce — property is divided on a just and right basis and custody is decided based on the children's best interest, regardless of who filed. However, filing first has practical advantages: the petitioner chooses the county and court, can request temporary orders immediately, and sets the initial narrative in the petition.
In cases where spouses live in different counties or where time-sensitive asset protection or custody issues exist, filing first in Montgomery County can be strategically important. We can advise you on timing as part of your free consultation.
Our office at 141 N. San Jacinto Street, Conroe TX 77301 serves clients throughout the Conroe area including zip codes 77301, 77302, 77303, 77304, 77305, 77306, 77316, 77318, 77384, and 77385, as well as surrounding Montgomery County communities including The Woodlands, Magnolia, Willis, Montgomery, and New Caney.
Yes. For qualifying Conroe and Montgomery County cases where both spouses fully agree on all terms — property division, child custody and support, and spousal support — we offer flat-fee uncontested divorce through 2500Divorce.com. Montgomery County court filing fees are separate from the flat-fee attorney charge.
Flat-fee divorce is not appropriate when there are significant disputes, contested custody, complex asset division, or a spouse who is not cooperative. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies, a free consultation with our Conroe office at (713) 352-6900 will give you a clear answer.
