I’m working on my divorce with a child that was born during but not of marriage, my divorce was granted but she asked for final decree with prior order. What does that mean?
answered on Sep 3, 2024
You need to submit a proposed Decree of Divorce containing the divorce and property division for the judge to sign, along with a certified copy of the prior order from the other case establishing the paternity of the child. The judge needs to confirm that no orders respecting that child need to be... View More

1 child born during but not of marriage. Paternity has been established prior stating husband is not the father.

We agreed on a decision and we don’t live in the same state can they sign the final decree that way via email?
answered on Aug 26, 2024
Yes, you can send it via email. The other spouse can sign it and send it back to you.
We came to an agreement but we don’t live close, i did the final decree and filled it out but they have to sign it. Without a process server is there another way I can get it signed?
How can we both sign the divorce decree if we don’t live within the miles of each other?

I filed for divorce and found out I was pregnant (not by my ex husband) a couple of weeks after the hearing. What happens next? Or what should I do to inform the judge?
We didn't last long only a couple months and I just see no point in being married. I was hoping that maybe we can come into an agreement that it was a mistake but there's no communication so I don't know how to go about it because I really can't afford a divorce.

In most circumstances, weddings rings are gifts that belong to the recipient as his or her separate property.
In rare circumstances involving family heirlooms, an argument can be made that they are conditional upon the continuation of the marriage.

Under Texas law, if your husband marries another woman while still being married to you, this is considered bigamy. Bigamy is illegal in Texas and constitutes a criminal offense under the Texas Penal Code § 25.01.
