Services
In many ways, a Texas divorce case is a lot like other civil lawsuits, only the parties are spouses.
The start of the case occurs with one party files an original petition.
The opposing party is served with the divorce petition, or signs a waiver of citation (waiver) acknowledging receipt of the petition, and makes a general appearance in the lawsuit by filing an answer or the waiver.
The same rules of civil procedure and evidence apply, and certain claims may be heard and decided by either a jury or a judge.

As to the former, the end of the marriage by divorce, think about it this way.
If you knew there was a fifty percent chance your home would be destroyed by fire, would you purchase homeowners insurance?
A premarital agreement is a contract entered into by a couple in anticipation of marriage.
