Welcome to the first step in achieving your legal goals and objectives. I have confidence that I can use my 15+ years experience to your advantage by zealously and compassionately advocating on your behalf.
Instructions on how to get started are below.
About Attorney Donald C. Nemec
I have been practicing law in Texas since 2008. I know the law, most of the judges, and many of the other attorneys in Tarrant, Dallas, Johnson, Parker, and Denton Counties. I have appeared in well over 40 counties throughout Texas and in the US District Courts of Northern Texas. You will be in good hands.
I occasionally contract a paralegal to assist with some document drafting, but do most of my administrative duties on my own. This saves money in overhead expenses and allows me to offer these high quality legal services without the $2,000 - $5,000 down payment retainer fees often demanded by most other firms. I also frequently hold my client consultations over the telephone instead of charging my clients for the travel time in meeting in person. This arrangement has worked for hundreds of clients and saves on costs, which is directly passed on to you, the client, through lower retainer deposits.
Agreed Divorce Service
Pro Se Divorce Service - Background Support, Documents, Coaching, Instructions, and Guidance
Attorney Serviced Agreed Divorce Service
I have provided this $650* divorce service for over 14 years to facilitate hundreds of divorces throughout Texas. The service is designed for couples who can agree on all property and parenting issues within 60 days after filing for divorce. I do not represent either party in the divorce. Instead, I will provide you with all fully completed customized paperwork, step-by-step instructions on how to file and complete the divorce, procedural guidance, and will answer all questions regarding laws and and how a judge would probably rule given your circumstances.
Process - What to Expect
You can start the process by completing my questionnaire. After completion and making payment, I will create and provide you with all paperwork and detailed instructions to file and complete your divorce. Only one hearing should be required, it will occur after the 60 day cooling off period, might be via Zoom video, is very simple, and we provide 100% support to eliminate the unknowns and intimidation. (Note that we do not attend the hearing with you, but give you complete instructions and a script to read to the judge.)
You and your spouse will need to come to agreement on any disputed issues before you finalize the divorce. Please note that my service does not include negotiations or mediation work. Those service are available at an additional charge if needed. Pre-pay $90 and schedule an appointment if you would like to discuss. www.nemeclaw.com/pay | www.nemeclaw.com/book
Cost and Payment
Legal Fee
The price for the legal service is $650*. The payment can be made online at www.nemeclaw.com/pay. That payment is due in full before I get started on the paperwork.
*Add $150 if children of the marriage
*Add $150 if property to divide in divorce decree
Filing Fee and Waiver of Filing Fee
The court charges a filing fee of approximately $300-$420 to file the case. However, with our paperwork, the court should waive the filing fee if you can show that you cannot afford it. If your monthly income and expenses are about the same, that is, you have little or no disposable income after paying all of your expenses, then the court should waive your filing fees. I will provide you with the waiver and instructions to waive the fees. Please also be advised that the court might require you to show the judge proof of income, bills, and receipts to prove that you cannot afford the filing fees.
Alternatively, you can just pay the ~$300-400 filing fee directly to the district court clerk at the time you file the divorce.
To get started with this Pro Se Divorce Service, please start the process by completing this questionnaire.

I do offer one free phone consultation (up to 15 minutes). If we have not already spoken together, please schedule a phone call at www.nemeclaw.com/book and I will call you at the scheduled time. Please be sure to mention which service you are interested in when scheduling the appointment.
