Failure to answer a 194 only limits what evidence he can present at trial. You need to serve other written discovery as well. When that isn't answered, then proceed with motion to compel. Best to retain an attorney to handle all this for you.

Your question does not lend itself to an easy answer. Are you presently residing in Texas?

The answer to your question may turn, in part, on whether a divorce... Read more »

Best to find a family law attorney that practices regularly in the county he lives in for assistance. Most likely he will have to provide notice of divorce to his spouse via publication. In other words, there is a way he can get a divorce even if he does not know where she lives.

We have agreed on payment plans other then child support
You can try and many courts will sign any agreed order. However some will review an order to see if support ordered and may question the parents to determine if child is being provided for. The only way to force a court to accept your agreement is with a mediated settlement agreement.
He owned a home when we got married. If we divorce can he try to claim part of what I buy after we separated?
If you are still married, any property you acquire is still community property and he would have an interest in it.
Even if some utility bills are paid together.
If you can prove that the property was a gift, then it's your separate property. However, in a divorce, all property acquired during the marriage is Presumed to be community property, so you'll have the burden of proof on that issue.

If you have a debt that you are jointly responsible for, you are both responsible for it. The only way to change it is to get the lending institution to allow a change in responsible party.

The best advice I can honestly give you at this time is to hire a lawyer.
If you cannot afford a lawyer go to legal aid for your county to see if you qualify for a free lawyer.
Your situation is complicated and time-sensitive so you will need someone with legal expertise to help.
She currently lives in the house and she wanted me to live with my dad but I said no so I stay in our travel trailer I pay all the bills she has no job just want to know the best options.
I would strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment with an attorney in your area. Whenever anyone wants to have orders specifying their rights and duties to their children, those orders have to be issued by a court with jurisdiction (i.e. authority to make orders that affect your life).

Is this standard? They are also asking for "all travel expenses" incurred to be... Read more »
I can answer the first part of your question. A "direct" flight is not the same thing as a "non-stop" flight, which is a distinction I think you are confused about. Any flight that leaves from the correct city and arrives in the city designated by the court order is a... Read more »

She had 3 kids of her own that she has no right to that live with her mom. Also she spends 98% of time with my child
Probably yes but it depends on what your custody order says. There may be a "no shack up" clause that prevents overnight visits when your ex has not remarried.
If the new girlfriend is a danger to the child, you likely have grounds for a modification.
My ex and I have been separated over 17 years. Living in 2 different states over 15 years. We were married in LA and I live in TX. I cannot afford to file and he says he can't either. What assistance can you provide and what steps should I take next?
If it is a Texas divorce, go to Texaslawhelp.org. You may be able to find an attorney who can do an uncontested divorce cheaply.
There has to be a custody suit filed and a motion for the judge to confer with the child. Technically, this can be done without a lawyer, but it would be difficult. The judge is required to consider the child's opinion, but it is only factor in the judge's decision.
