Bandera, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You have not stated which 'divorce papers' you mean. If the document you are thinking of is a Marital Settlement Agreement which he won't sign, a good way to move things off dead center is to ask the Court for a pre-trial conference, to determine the issues which are contested, and to schedule a trial. That usually gets things moving.

Before you sign the paperwork, it is a good idea to have a legal professional review the documents and advise you of your options and the impact signing the papers may have on you. Without understanding what you're signing, you should not sign the papers! A consultation fee with an attorney will be well worth it for your peace of mind. Otherwise, don't sign the papers, and allow him to proceed with the divorce without your input. 

I would suggest that you engage an attorney to try to straighten this out. Your actual problem is that if you are not divorced, you could not remarry, and therefore your second marriage may be considered to be void. As for immigration, any known mistake can be fatal to your application.
