What do I do to file a divorce in a different state?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
First, please be mindful of your personal safety and that of your child. It is of the utmost priority. Second, if you're still a legal resident in your home state, you may be able to file for divorce there based on your husband's continued residency in that state. However, if you intend to stay in Texas, you would be able to file for divorce here within six months of continuous residence in the state (with at least 3 months in the same county).

Does all paperwork have to be corrected if it shows my maiden middle name instead of middle used when married?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
This a good question. It appears as though you are the Respondent in the divorce. You may have filed an Original Answer or simply signed a waiver of service to let the court know you were notified of the divorce proceedings. However, it is important to note that your responsibility doesn't end there. Your divorce decree must specifically state that you are seeking to restore the use of your maiden name. Otherwise, you will have to go through the judicial name change process after the divorce has become final. Your best bet is to schedule a consultation with a local divorce lawyer to review the documents your ex wants you to sign.

Why does she have a right to my property here while I am legally bound to pay her alimony?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
There is no such thing as legal separation in the state of Texas. I strongly recommend you schedule a consultation with a family attorney in the State of Texas to determine whether or not your wife actually got a divorce or under what circumstances a judge ordered you to pay child support if you two are still married. If you're only separated (not legally divorced), then yes your wife would need to sign the paperwork for you to purchase a home, so it is imperative that you get divorced as soon as you can to make sure you are the only one legally benefiting from this transaction.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
