After listening to all of this, I’ve come to the conclusion that’s it’s best to just date! Not marry! Lol
Yes! It is!
💯
Just Marry the right person or marry me
@@palo5959 You too funny! 😂
and not have any kid with him/her?
How long does it take to file a divorce normally?
What about a clean divorce as in both parties just want out and there will be no fighting over property? Will that still take 60 days or can it be done and over with.
I’m wondering the same
Same
60 day cool down period is mandatory I believe
I need same answered
This is so hard. I'm happy I have no children... no assets..no home with him. A clean hurtful divorce.
Wow… I feel your hurt thru the text. Keep your head up UniqT, I’m gonna take the time to pray for you RIGHT NOW!
What if you don't have nothing
What if my spouse broke a bone in my body and now I am disabled?
First step move out of Texas or any of the other community-property states like New Mexico or Louisiana. Get residency on the sligh in the nearest man friendly state, get a trailer or something. Then say you're moving out due to differeneces etc. Then apply for divorce because she certainly will have her legal team going for all your property and since she will stil think you are a Texas resident will assume shes getting everything, which would be true in Texas but it wont be in Nearby Oklahoma/Arkansas.
So when we go to court we have to sell the house my ex is very attament about not selling the house.Will the judge decided then?
Your ex would have to buy you out of the equity in your house. And make sure he has to refinance so your name is off of it, in case he stops making payments and ruins your credit. Also, so you don’t have that debt to qualify for your own home in the future.
What if both parties have been living separately for multiple years and things like custody and child support are already in place?
What if the husband hangs out and messed around? Spends hardly anytime with wife? 2.5 years... no property together
Thank you for this video
Is their an action to protect the rights of parents in a divorce? Where the husbands parents used their life savings to purchase the property where the daughter in law deceived the parties to put half in her name??
Six months into occupancy?
Similar situation. What was your outcome
Can you mail a petition to the court?
Hi how can I get ? single divorce paper
What about if he has sent money overseas?
My attorney did not ask opposing counsel for any documents and court saw fair and just for me to be thrown out of my apartment and him kept both vehicles I’m so lost . Fair and just
Do you need to send the court fee with the petition or can you pay after
What happens when a spouse has a large amount of unverifiable income, or an undocumented (cash) savings?
How about any real estate inheritance and then improvements were made to that inheritance with funds from both caples is that become part of own property by both?
Great question, Mary! That can be a complex situation and the answer is likely not black and white. For informational purposes only, inheritances are generally separate property, but as you note, if the other spouse contributes to it, they may have a claim in divorce. That is a perfect example of something an experienced lawyer would have to look at the documentation and history of the property to offer legal advice to a person in that situation.
Does filling for divorce in a county close to the boarder, have a chance for possible fraudulent justices?
What if you discovered that your partner is cheating and have suffered psychological and financial abuse?
Get a good lawyer
Collect as much evidence for your case as possible
It’s just a discovery forgive and move on with life
