Divorce Better is a law firm that is disrupting the conventional way to divorce by providing families a cheaper, faster, and healthier way to- and through- divorce.

Marriage is complicated and doesn’t always end up like we imagined. Life happens, circumstances change, and people change. There should be no shame or judgment.

Deciding to divorce doesn’t have to be a declaration of war. Divorce shouldn’t be the end of your family, and it certainly shouldn’t leave you more broken than when you were married- financially, emotionally or psychologically.

You don’t have to still love- or even like- each other to divorce differently, better. Divorce Better offers you flat fee divorce packages with an array of add-on services to ensure that you don’t overpay for your divorce.

If you and your partner can agree to the terms of your divorce, we can provide you the best divorce possible for your family- because you will decide what in your family’s best interest.

And, as an added bonus, we can finalize your divorce in about the same amount of time you that the state of Texas requires you to wait after filing- 60 days.

Meet Anne Garcia

My name is Anne Garcia. I am an attorney and a certified family-law mediator. I am also the child of divorce.

After 30 years of an unhappy marriage, my parents divorced. It was incredibly ugly and painful, and still affects me and my relationships with them, nearly 25 years later.

I am also divorced myself. I know firsthand how prohibitively expensive a divorce can be, forcing families to choose between what they know is in their best interest and risking losing important legal protections if they try to do it themselves.

Both of these experiences played a big role in my decision to start Divorce Better. We want to reinvent the divorce experience, and are cost-conscious lawyers who offer quality legal services for flat, transparent prices. We prioritize preserving your family, and can finalize your divorce in about the time the State of Texas makes you wait to finalize your divorce- 60 days.

I am a proud graduate of Rice University, suma cum laude, and University of Texas School of Law, cum laude. I started my law career in the business and finance section of Mayer Brown, where I worked for several years. I then moved to Madrid, Spain, where I lived for four years and worked in international trade and product development.

After returning to Houston, I began practicing family law, while also starting OpHeart, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the odds of survival and outcomes of babies like my daughter, who are born with life-threatening heart defects.

If you think you and your partner can decide the terms of your divorce yourselves- before sinking tens of thousands in lawyers’ fees- please contact us. We are happy to answer your questions with no obligation.

Our Goals

I am practicing attorney and certified family mediator, and for 15 years, I have been helping families through difficult legal and emotional issues, including bankruptcy, divorce, child custody disputes, and immigration issues. I also have experience with the special needs of medically fragile children.

As an attorney-mediator, I am guided by three goals:

1	Provide families the most affordable and professional divorce possible, putting them in the best position possible to succeed in the next chapter of their lives.

2	Empower families to divorce on their terms, trusting that they are in the best position to know what is right for themselves and their families.

3	With children, ensure that their needs and interests are top priority.

Divorce should not exploit the worst in a family. It should not leave couples and children more broken than before. And it doesn’t have to. I know firsthand how hard marriage and divorce can be, and I want to create a better way for couples to divorce and families to not only survive, but thrive.

It can be done.

Benefits of the Affordable Divorce Texas Method

$1,400

For less than the retainer for a divorce litigator, we put your family’s well-being above all else and can help you achieve the best divorce at an affordable price.

Fast

Courts are overwhelmed, and contested divorces can take a year or more. In contrast, by utilizing the Divorce Better process, we can help you resolve the issues a judge would otherwise decide in a fraction of the time. We can help you divorce quickly, and be ready to finalize your divorce as soon as the 60-day waiting period has expired.

Flat Fee

Instead of worrying about the constant stream of lawyer’s bills, we take the anxiety out of the cost of divorce. We provide you with a one-time, flat fee that includes everything you need to successfully divorce based on our transparent fixed pricing.

Free Consult

For couples that qualify for our agreed divorce process, we offer a free, no obligation initial consultation during which a licensed Texas attorney and mediator will explain the Divorce Better process, as well as answer your questions and help you understand all your options.

Control

The conventional method of divorcing robs couples of control over their own families and finances, transferring power over to their attorneys and strangers who will determine what is in their family’s “best interests”. We believe you know what is best for you and your children and empower couples to make those decisions.

Less Stress

Not only is the Divorce Better method designed to help couples divorce faster and for less money, but perhaps most importantly, it leaves families healthier and happier, in a better emotional, psychological and financial position to move on.

A New Life

It may be hard to imagine now, but life will go on, and you deserve to start the next chapter as whole- mentally and financially- as possible. You are deserving and capable of happiness, and we want to help you achieve your best life.

Family First

Divorce can be traumatic for children, and we consciously work to minimize any negative impact. While parents divorce, families do not, and we want to create a framework for families to evolve, with the needs of children guiding all decisions.

Expert Guidance

Divorce is a big change. For most people, it is a defining moment in their lives, and even more so for children. That is why you need a team that is skilled at managing the transition and whose singular goal is to lay the groundwork for a successful next chapter in your family’s life.

No Shame

Divorce can be intensely intimate, leaving people vulnerable psychologically, emotionally and financially. We promise not only privacy and confidentiality, but also a safe space free from shaming or judgment.

Custom (Re)solutions

Your family is unique. But judges don’t have the time to learn your family’s story, and most divorce lawyers are not accustomed to creative custody arrangements or planning for your financial health. With diverse backgrounds and experiences, we are uniquely qualified to empower families to come up with their own solutions for their future happiness.

Confidential

The Divorce Better method is a private, confidential process that protects you and your family’s privacy, offering a means to secure valuable personal information and keep it out of the public record.
