My divorce decree says the ownership of a condo that is considered community property was given to my ex wife but no quitclaim deed or title transfer was done. My name is the only one on the mortgage. Fast forward four years and she won’t transfer the property into her name or even communicate.... View More

First, this is probably not something you are going to handle without legal representation. You should hire a lawyer to assist you as this is likely to become very complex if the Original Orders and Decree did not specify the remedial action to be taken in this instance. Sounds like no lawyer was... View More

Unless you have been ordered to provide a DNA sample by the Court, I would not agree to do one voluntarily, especially since you have suspicions that the child is not yours. As always, I suggest you actually spend the time and money consulting with a lawyer and providing them with all of the facts... View More

Not possible to answer based on limited information provided. You can try and contact Legal Aid for your county and see if they can step in to help. Or you can try and mediate the case yourself. Fortunately, mediation is a lot less formal than Court and you will know the facts of the case. You can... View More
We have two checking accounts. My name is also on the account his deposit goes into. I have another checking account where my deposit goes. Am I able to take my name off the one account and make it to where we can not transfer money from one actor the other.

Your question would need to. have a lot more information before anyone can answer definitively. If divorce petition has been filed, then you will need to review the County Standing Orders to determine what you may or may not do. This is totally different in each county. If divorce has not been... View More
I called the police department and they said they can't enforce the TRO.

Call the Sheriff's Department and ask to speak to a supervisor. The Sheriff is tasked with enforcing Court Orders. If they still won't do anything, call the Court and ask to speak with the Judge's assistant or Clerk. Tell them what is happening and ask if they wouldn't mind... View More
We have separate bank accounts. I do have assets before marriage and money I saved before her. no prenup

There is lot more information that any lawyer is going to need to answer your question definitively. However, as a general rule of thumb, w/a lot of exceptions - anything earned or acquired during the marriage is community property and subject to division accordingly.

You can get divorced without knowing where the other party is located but the requirements are a little different than if you were able to have the other party served with process. You are going to be required to prove due diligence was taken to try and find the other party and as long as this... View More
Both married in Texas, not in agreement and without legal representation with two minor children under age 15 years of age. The mother is being tormented by this individual, should she do more than look for a lawyer to protect her and her children's rights?
answered on Jun 29, 2020
Anyone can apply for a divorce as long as they are a resident of the county in which they file their legal action. She will not lose her rights as a parent. Immigration problems are another issue for which you will have to consult an immigration lawyer. Those policies change so frequently that you... View More
I also don't have a car or a place to live. I have disabilities. She knows all this, but somehow expects me to pay for her lawyer. Do I have recourse?
answered on Jun 29, 2020
If I understand your question, you are asking if you have any recourse for action when your wife of 20 years has filed for divorce? Yes, you do but if one person wants a divorce, practically speaking, a court is going to grant the divorce. However, if you are asking if you have to pay her... View More
The home was purchase during the engagement; a few months prior to the marriage. Can a spouse add other names and / or sell without the other spouse?
answered on Jun 26, 2020
The way a property is titled is irrelevant. If the home was purchased during the marriage, barring certain exceptions, it is community property and subject to community property division rules upon divorce.
Approval or without telling the other person

While it is not the best practice for a loan company to grant a loan with only one of the married couple's signature on the documents, there is nothing illegal about it. Unless a divorce was currently pending and the County in which it was filed had instituted Standing Orders preventing the... View More

This sounds like it may be a potential contempt matter. If you have a written order where he was directed to pay these items, you may be able to have him held in contempt. You should seek the advice of a qualified Texas divorce lawyer to more specifically answer your questions.
My wife knows my financial situation and she is taking advantage that i cant file for divorce.
answered on Jun 25, 2020
Courts have not closed and you can still file for divorce. Courts are operating on a limited basis but e-filing is mandatory in Texas so you can file for divorce. You may not be able to obtain temporary relief depending on what you are requesting but it would be a good idea to reach out to a Texas... View More

File a complaint with the police. This is a crime in most states. That should be enough to stop him, but you can always file a restraining order if necessary. Good luck!

Because the courts are run by judges with experience in dealing with people claiming they do not "own" a car and know that it is very unlikely that you do not have access to or are using a vehicle on a regular basis. I heard this 2 times a day from people that thought they were going to... View More
