Ask a Lawyer: Attorney in Texas

Posted by Dads Divorce in TX , Rules , Procedures , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

I have been out of the house for 3 months. I signed temp orders so I could see my kids. My wife refuses to let me have my belongings and access to personal finance files. She filed and we lived together for 7 months before I found out. My attorney states that we have to wait until it is final to get my things. Is this the way it is in Texas? What happens if I change lawyers?

Answer:

I am not licensed in Texas. I doubt changing lawyers will change the law. You may seek an order allowing you to remove personal belongings but a final distribution of property is determined at final hearing.

Ask a Divorce Lawyer: How aggressive is enforcement of child support?

Jason BowmanQuestion: I pay child support to my ex-wife in Texas. I recently moved from Texas to California for a job. I am on community supervision for a contempt charge for failure to pay child support in the past. 

This year, I have continued paying child support but got behind on medical reimbursement. If they revoke my community supervision, a warrant will be issued for my arrest. I am trying to pay what I owe, but have been unable. 

If a warrant is issued, will they come to California to arrest me?

Jason BowmanQuestion: My child support case is in Oklahoma, I live in Texas. 

I recently received a letter about suspending my license for failure to pay child support, even though it is being garnished from my paycheck. 

Can one state suspend or revoke my license if it is a license from another state?

Ask A Divorce Lawyer: What are my options in regards to being reviewed for child support revision?

Posted by pmcmahon in TX , review , Jennifer Paine , Cordell Cordell, PC , Child Support , Ask A Lawyer

Question: 

I have been divorced just over three years and my ex-wife is filing for a review so that the child support can be revised upward since I make more money now. Her lawyer asked me for paystubs and tax information and I gave him what he asked for. He then gave copies of everything to my ex-wife.

I'm pretty steamed about this. I may not like it, but I wish I'd at least been asked or informed before he gave her all of my financial information. Is what the lawyer did justifiable and/or legal? Also, what are my options for reviewing the child support revision when they send it to me? I can’t afford to retain a lawyer.

Ask a Divorce Lawyer: Can my ex take my kids away from me 7 years after I became the custodial parent?

Posted by Matt Allen in TX , Modification , jurisdiction , IL , Erica Christian , custodial parent , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer

Question: Seven years ago, I got divorced in Illinois and was named the custodial parent of my children. Since then, I have moved to Texas. 

Now, 7 years after the fact, my ex suddenly is filing a request to take the kids away from me. There has been no wrongdoing on my part, I don’t have a criminal record or anything, and I’m recently married with a very happy, intact family. 

Is there any chance she can swoop in 7 years later and take my kids?
