Can you get into trouble if you want to date someone else while separated and filing for divorce?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Graves Law Firm
Often not much, but you just might wind up before a judge who has a strong disposition against that kind of behavior and shows it by awarding your spouse a disproportionate share of community property, or concludes you're a less suitable parent for custody and visitation purposes. Only if there's no property and no children at issue can you know with reasonable certainty that dating before the divorce won't turn around and bite you. I know this is not the answer you wanted, but why not get the divorce over with first? The case only has to be on file for 60 days before you can finalize it.

Can I get an annulment if my spouse is in jail?

Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock
Answered by attorney Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mackoy, Hernandez, Jones and Woods LLP
There are specific requirements for an annulment spelled out in the Family Code. Generally, most situations do not fit those requirements and a divorce is necessary. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

Can my husband and I draw up our own temporary agreement so we can focus more on the children?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Helene Ellenbogen P.S.
Private agreements about children are not legal. You need to go back to court to have any restraints removed. You can do that by an agreed motion and order. You must have brought something against your husband to have him restrained. So you can agree to end the restraints but a judge must sign it to be legal. Otherwise your husband is violating a court order. Attorney's are the agents for their clients not the other way around. You have no way of knowing what his attorney is saying or doing. If your husband doesn't like his attorney, he can always find another one. You say nothing about your own attorney. If you don't have one, I suggest you get one since the problematic restraints came from you and that can certainly add significantly to the contentious nature of the divorce.
