These forms are required based on your specific situation (children, property, or support requests).
| Form Number | Form Name | When Required |
|---|---|---|
| FM-DivA-100 | Original Petition for Divorce (Set A -- No Children) | if_no_children |

Optional Forms
Waiver of Citation (Service)
Respondent voluntarily signs before a notary (not an attorney in the case) acknowledging receipt of the petition and waiving formal service. Must be signed after the petition is filed. Cheapest and fastest method for agreed/uncontested cases.
Filing Tips for Texas
Make copies. File the original and keep at least two copies — one for yourself and one for service on your spouse.
Sign where required. Some forms must be signed in front of a notary. Check each form for notarization requirements.
Use black ink. Courts generally require forms to be completed in black ink or typed. Avoid blue ink or pencil.
Check local rules. Some Texas counties may require additional forms or have specific formatting requirements.
