How do we dismiss a divorce that was filed?

In Texas, your husband would have to file a notice of non-suit. Do not count on him filing the notice of non-suit if you are served. Once you have notice you will only have the Monday following 20 days from the date of service to file an answer. If you do not file an answer he can default you.If you have an answer at least you are somewhat protected from a default. If he really wants to stop the divorce he would not go through the expense of having you served. Contact a local divorce / family lawyer in your area.

Can i get married again with permission

No, that is not correct.  That would still be bigamy.  There is no affidavit that would allow you to be married to multiple men at the same time.  You can file the divorce yourself without the assistance of an attorney.  You would have to pay the filing fee and that is all.  It is not that expensive to do you it yourself.

I am about to lose my income, how do I ammend my divorce decree?

Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)

Sorry to hear about your upcoming loss of job. In order to seek a change in your child support obligation you must obtain a court order changing the support amount.  The court will not make that change until you have lost the job, and the court will want to see what unemployment benefits you may receive.  The best route is to hire an attorney now who will be able to file a pleading requesting child support modification as soon as you no longer have your full time job.  Your ex will need to be served and if she does not agree to the modification, you will need to have a hearing in front of the judge. The Attorney General of the State of Texas has a Child Support Division that employs attorneys to help establish and modify child support among other things.  You should contact the Office of the Attorney General first to see if they will help you. The support obligation will not be lowered to zero.  The minimum you will be required to pay will be based on minimum wage for a forty hour work week.  At least that is what the Tarrant County TX courts have been doing for unemployed persons.  If, however, you have some income from a part-time or side job, that will also be included in figuring support.  As mentioned above, if you receive unemployment compensation that will be included. If you do not file a suit with the court requesting that your support be modified and follow through with all the right legal steps and obtain a court order, your support obligation will continue to add up at the current rate.  You won't be able to fix it after the fact, so it is good that you are starting now to plan to deal with this.
