Anyone getting a divorce in Texas?
| Fri, 10-27-2006 - 6:32pm |
I am in Texas and the laws here are ridiculous. No alimony, no fault state. It doesn't matter that he had a year and a half long affair because it's no fault!
Just curious to see if anyone here is in Texas, and what really to expect.
Shocked

Texas does have alimony now. If you are married for more than 10 years, you can receive it for a period of 3 years. Not long, but a good foundation. I have MS so my alimony is for life unless I remarry and heaven, that will never happen!!!
Bear down on your attorney. Be polite but remember He/She works for you!
Good luck!
Thanks for your reply, but my situation is very different. We have only been married 6 years, together 12. He had a year long affair and I have the proof. But it doesn't seem to matter since we were only married for a short amount of time. I moved all over the country with him for his job and we have one ds who is 3. I never completed my education because I was moving with him. Stupid, I know. Boy have I learned a lesson there.
Anyway...I meet with my lawyer in a week. I am feeling hopeful, because stbx is feeling guilty. So hopefully I can get him to agree on alot more.
Thanks again.
