The postal service attempted to serve his paperwork to my address rather than his. I called his post office and they said it must have gotten forwarded because he hadn’t checked his mail in months so she put him on the moved list! I had my mail forwarded to my new address and she said it must... Read more »
Usually you have to serve the other person in person through a private process server or constable, unless you get permission from a judge to serve them via certified mail. It doesn’t sound like you do here. So you would need to serve them in person by a process server. If certified mail service... Read more »
PAYING THE MORTGAGE ALONE HAS PUT ME IN A BIND FINANCIALLY. THE HOME WILL NOT SELL FOR THE AMOUNT NEEDED TO NOT OWE THE BANK MONEY. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
Get a lawyer to possibly get a hearing date sooner than play the waiting game, so the court can make some orders regarding the house. It may come down to selling the house at a loss. Or the court may order her to pay half the mortgage until it’s sold.
My ex took me to court 4 years ago and reduced my child support by almost half, because he no longer worked a corporate job but instead became self employed. Fast forward to now... He is currently over 11K behind in child support even at the reduced amount. And trying to have the amount reduced yet... Read more »
OAG is unlikely to do that much work. You should probably get a private attorney. Those records will need to be subpoenaed.
It should state the parties had these children born during the marriage, but their parental rights were terminated, and attach a copy of the order terminating parental rights as an exhibit.
I heard if you never applied for state marriage license then it's only legal there. Nothing is in her name and no children together
If you’re married then you’re married, doesn’t matter where you got married. You have to get a divorce first.
My husband filed for divorce. I have two documents: Respondent's Original Answer and Waiver of Service (Only). Which one do I need to file? Thank you.
File the answer if you intent to claim your rights. File a waiver if you don’t oppose anything and are okay with him basically going to court without you and asking for what he wants. Sometimes waivers will allow for that if you aren’t careful. Sometimes a waiver only waives service but you are... Read more »
From waiver of service to the decree and was signed. Not noticed until later. Supposed to be final in June
It should be amended and corrected to prevent any possible issues.
If you’re the beneficiary of an application filed by your citizen spouse, the length of time you must wait after you get your green card, before you can apply for citizenship can be different. If you’re married to a US citizen you can apply 3 years after getting your green card. If you aren’t... Read more »
Both of our names are on the loans/cars. My husband is in jail for sexual abuse of my son and we are not allowed to speak, but I can't afford to pay all bills on my own and need some answers.
If I'm not able to do that until a divorce is finalized (because I will be filing for... Read more »
No bank will refinance without his signature, and no dealer or private seller will buy the casr from you without his signature. Because he is listed on both the car and note.

It comes down to whether or not you held yourself out to public as husband and wife. To determine that, a divorce would have to be filed, the other party can contest it, and the judge would take into consideration a variety of factors (joint accounts, joint ownership of property, joint tax returns,...

he has not paid the taxes on the land and it is still 100% in my name as owner, Is there a limitation on getting it transferred, do I get to keep the land if I pay the taxes, to use as collateral or sale.
Presumably the divorce decree awarded the property to him, and then by signing the Special Warranty Deed you have confirmed that grant to him. Therefore, the property no longer in your name, no matter who the tax bills are going to.
If you want it back, you could buy it back a the tax... Read more »
Me and my ex spouse were married for 12 years and divorced in Texas. This was a uncontested divorce and the decree lists us both as joint managing conservators with her as the custodial parent.

One solution is to ask court for a temporary restraining order to prevent visitation until a hearing is held on your modification.

Do they have to go back to the court and request service or does the respondent just file an answer, although the petition wasn’t given to them? Do they have to go back to the court and request service or does the respondent just file an answer, although the petition wasn’t given to them?
If you've already filed a waiver, you need to get an answer on file. And check the terms of the waiver. Some of the waivers I've seen don't just waive service, but also waive notice of the proceedings.
Talk to your lawyer - the petition can easily be amended, but that may not even be necessary. What's important is that the error doesn't end up in the divorce decree.
You don't need a copy of your marriage license to file for divorce. But if you needed the record for some reason, you could contact the county clerk of the county that issued the license. Talk to a family law attorney in your area about the requirements for divorce, and your circumstances.
We share financial responsibility. His father just happened to live across the street from the school.
