As far as the County Clerk is concerned (that is who handles motor vehicle titles in Tennessee), upon learning of your dad's passing, they will consider your mother to be the owner. That is because it sounds like they never updated the title during the divorce like they (probably) should... View More
She actually left me on 6/30, before my pension began. I have documentation proving the date of abandonment. I am trying to complete a quick and easy divorce by using the documents that are provided on the Tennessee government website. However, it states I cannot use these if I have a pension.

Hire a TN attorney to file the Divorce. Defendant may agree to IR Divorce, but if not you will need grounds. In a contested DV, she will discover the Pension property and claim it is marital property. If you cannot get her to agree to an IR DV prior to filing, you may not want to file the DV.

That short marriage does not give you an interest in his separate properties. Instead you should have your lawyer demand what you need to transition for the next five years, and not agree to an ID divorce until you get what you want. Without an agreement, he will have to prove grounds for the... View More

I assume the $1,000 does not include your filing fees, service fee, publication fee, or the ad litem’s fee.
Even then, $1,000 is awfully skinny to start a divorce case particularly if the attorney knew in advance you didn’t know where your wife is.
While you can sue, you might... View More
He marked "hand directly to parent" on the papers and when I mentioned this to him he said he's just going to wait for them to come out of his check on its own. Do I need to take him back to court or what do I do because he doesn't want to pay it and the papers was filed March 2, 2023.

It sounds like you did not go to Court, so you do not know what if anything is going on. Call Court and find out when the divorce decree was entered. Order for CS starts then. If no case at Court, then you are not divorced. If CS is not paid, then you must file a Petition to hold him in... View More

You should discuss all this with your attorney. But if she passed during the divorce proceeding, then there's no more divorce. Depending on her estate, you may and likely are entitled to some, if not all, of her assets. The issue would need to go to probate in Illinois since that's where... View More

Annulments are very rare and difficult to obtain. You might have grounds, but if you can get him to agree to an Irreconcilable Differences Divorce, it will be far cheaper and quicker. Hire a competent attorney to advise about this, including looking for divorce grounds in the near future.

We want to file uncontested because we both want to keep paying on the home and reside here until we are financially able to relocate separately. Is it possible to file uncontested in our situation?
answered on Jul 14, 2022
Yes. It's possible. But you can also sell the house during the divorce and split the proceeds and move on. First recommendation is that you get everything in writing in a proper marital dissolution agreement, which you'll need anyways. Second, you would be wise to get an attorney to... View More

Start calling various Court Clerks with divorce jurisdiction in any County where he may have been a Party. It could be in another State. Another Relative probably has an idea where the Divorce occurred. It may help to suspect a certain time frame.

Support is calculated using the parties' income, deductions for things like insurance and child care, and then applied to the guidelines. Seek local counsel to assist you to... View More

You should have called law enforcement. You might be able to file an Action To Recover Personal Property in General Sessions. Use TN terms only, not foreign. Otherwise you will need to file for a Divorce and have to prove grounds.

It likely has to do with title to property.
For example, if she was awarded a motor vehicle in your divorce decree but the title registration was not changed before she moved, she might have recorded the decree in Texas so she could register the motor vehicle in her sole name in Texas.
