I'm not aware of one, but I'm not a lawyer. Since you can prove that you both considered yourselves married, I doubt that he will be successful in contesting it. Go ahead and file. You'll only be out the court costs if you are denied, but you may have a lot to gain if you can proceed...

I think she wants to know if it's possible that he served her by publication, then proceeded with the divorce. Yes, he could have done that. He should have published in your local newspaper, but if he said that he didn't know where you were, then he could have published in a Florida paper...

You didn't ask a question, but if you want to know if you meet the requirements for common-law marriage, check here: http://www.co.travis.tx.us/dro/common_law.asp

It is possible, not probable. You need an attorney to advise you regarding the language in your order and whether or not you have a chance.

I'm still confused.

I said that the mother's ex-husband is the presumed father, not your husband. Since the child was born during the marriage, the ex-husband is the legal father unless the concerned parties participated in paternity establishment through court.

Call your county's Office of Vital Records or the courthouse and ask about the forms and instructions.

Mindless ridicule and insults??? Hardly. I simply pointed out the flaws in your logic and the problems in your legal arguments. If you would like to see what mindless ridicule and insults look like, I can direct you to another legal site where your original post would cause you to be eaten...

This would be funny if it wasn't so sad. An ACTUAL attempt to support your daughter would be to go to court to establish a legal order for child support. This business of "Do you need anything" is half-hearted. Your responsibility is to provide support for your child, not 'help out' when the...

No, only the petitioner has to be a resident. She can file in MD even though you live in VA.

I'm confused by this entire post. First, the ex's husband was the presumed father of the child. Did your husband participate in paternity establishment proceedings? Next, OP says that the mother has not asked for any child support, but OP's husband has been told that he will be arrested...

Although you were told that you had done nothing wrong, the state obviously feels that the bolded portions above are reason enough to doubt your judgment regarding your children. If you want to get them back, do everything you are directed to do, and that includes leaving your boyfriend.

Not entirely true. Texas statute allows for an award of spousal maintenance in marriages of 10 years or longer. Though Texas courts are less likely to award maintenance compared to some other states, that doesn't mean OP cannot get an award for maintenance. OP, you should actively look...

A guardian may be appointed for an unborn child in Illinois; however, if her other children were removed from her care, DCFS is probably in the process of getting guardianship of the baby. You can certainly try to file, but if you do, I suggest you retain an attorney. You may have to have...

Check at your local courthouse for the forms necessary for name change. The process is usually not difficult, but the paternal grandmother may have standing to challenge the name change.

In most states, you can do it without a lawyer. Call the courthouse to be sure.

You will probably not be able to get an annulment in either state, so you will have to file for divorce. Both states have residency requirements for divorce, so you will have to decide in which state you qualify. Both states also have required periods of separation before a divorce without...

She is probably entitled to a share of any marital assets. Without knowing your financial situations or how long you've been married, it's not possible to say whether you may be required to help her with rent, or if she would be awarded the car with the lower payment. It is probably not a...
