Denton, TX asked in Divorce and Family Law for Texas

Q: Can a judge force an unemployed wife from the home during temporary orders (no kids)

My attorney was not prepare for court as I hired him last minute. We only had two days before the hearing for temporary orders. My husband lied about everything in court on the stand for over 40 minutes. I only got to speak about 5 minutes and didn't get a chance to dispute his lies. I even have documents to show he lied. Nontheless. we were ambushed and I am unemployed and being forced to leave my home. Can I file a motion to modify temporary orders?

A: Your attorney is the best person to ask, since the attorney was in court and has access to your current temporary orders. You will have to have the necessary evidence and facts to support your motion to modify. Without reviewing the case, it would be hard for me to give you a good answer.
