When you and your spouse agree — whether you are ending a marriage or setting the terms of one — I handle the legal work from start to finish for a fee you know before we begin.
For spouses who agree on property, debt, and any terms for their children. Petition through final decree.
Divorce details ↓A written agreement that defines separate property and sets expectations before you marry.
Prenup details ↓For spouses who want to put their property terms in writing after the wedding.
Postnup details ↓For each fixed-fee service, I represent one spouse or one future spouse. A lawyer cannot represent both sides, and the other party is welcome to consult their own attorney.
Fixed-fee services are built for agreed matters. If you and your spouse disagree, or your situation involves contested assets or business valuation, see my Practice Areas for hourly representation.
This is not the lowest-priced option available. Document-preparation services can fill in a form. They cannot advise you when a term is unenforceable, when a decree must be structured differently to survive review, or how to avoid the rejected filings and repeat trips to the courthouse that turn a simple divorce into a months-long ordeal. The fee reflects a defined scope and the experience behind it.
Every fixed-fee matter is handled by and under the supervision of Becca M. Kennedy, Board Certified, Family Law — Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
The experience I bring to complex, high-net-worth cases is the same experience that catches issues a template would miss.
Your fee is agreed in writing before work begins. No hourly billing and no surprise invoices for the services described here.
If you and your spouse already agree on the terms of your divorce, you should not pay contested-litigation prices or endure a contested-litigation timeline. I built this service around one purpose: guiding agreed divorces through the Texas courts efficiently, correctly, and for a price you know before you start.
A divorce qualifies as uncontested when both spouses agree on every material term: how property and debt will be divided and, if there are children, conservatorship, possession schedules, and child support. If you are not there yet, I can still help, but this fixed-fee service is built for spouses who already agree.
Get StartedOne price for your entire case, from filing to final decree, confirmed in writing before any work begins.
I confirm you both agree on property, debt, and any terms for your children, gather the basic details, and confirm your fixed fee in writing before any work begins.
I prepare the petition and supporting documents and file with the district clerk in the appropriate county.
Texas law requires a minimum 60-day waiting period from filing before a divorce can be finalized, in most cases.
Once the waiting period has passed and the paperwork is final, I schedule your prove-up hearing, where the judge reviews and signs your decree.
In practice, uncontested divorces typically finalize in 90 to 120 days.
A premarital agreement — commonly called a "prenup" — is not an expectation of failure. It is an act of clarity and respect between two people entering a significant legal partnership.
For high-net-worth individuals, business owners, those with children from prior relationships, or anyone with meaningful assets, a well-crafted premarital agreement provides protection, reduces future conflict, and creates a foundation of financial transparency.
$3,500 fixed fee. Confirmed in writing before work begins. Highly complex or high-asset agreements are quoted separately.
Get StartedIn Texas, a premarital agreement must be in writing and signed by both spouses, and it takes effect when the marriage occurs.
A postmarital agreement — commonly called a "postnup" — is a written agreement between spouses about how their property will be treated. In Texas, many are structured as partition and exchange agreements, which allow spouses to divide community property between them so that what each spouse receives becomes that spouse's separate property.
Spouses consider one when circumstances change after the wedding: a business is started or sold, an inheritance is received, one spouse steps back from a career, or a blended family calls for clearer terms.

No. A lawyer cannot legally represent both spouses. I represent one spouse, and the other spouse is welcome to consult their own attorney.
The fixed fee is built for uncontested matters. If a disagreement arises over property, debt, or your children, I will tell you, and we will talk through your options, including whether hourly representation is the better fit.
A retainer is an advance against hourly fees, drawn down as work is performed. A fixed fee is a set price for a defined scope of work, agreed in writing before work begins.
Each agreement is a $3,500 fixed fee, confirmed in writing before work begins. Highly complex or high-asset agreements are quoted separately. Tell me about your situation, and I will confirm the scope.
