Husband has been gone 8 years and i can't find him to sign the divorce papers . can i still divorce him

Answered by attorney Ronda Elizabeth Harris
Divorce lawyer at Harris Law Firm, PLLC
Yes, you can file for a divorce by publication.      Divorce by publication happens only after a judge has been convinced, based on a sworn declaration, of the serving party's inability to find the Defendant after a "diligent search." Service by publication is commonly used in a divorce action to serve a spouse who has disappeared without a leaving a forwarding address. In Texas, divorce by publication is not an easy route to go. Divorce by publication has more steps, is more complicated, and is more expensive than an agreed divorce. In short, it is easier and cheaper if you can find your spouse and get them to sign off on the final divorce decree, but you can still get divorced.

How do we dismiss a divorce that was filed?

Answered by attorney Lucio Antonio Montes (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Montes Law Firm
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.

How to divorce

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
If your wife hasn't exposed your son to anything inappropriate, the issues of managing conservatorship, child support and possession and access will be determined by the evidence and the law. The court would determine what is in the best interest of the child, not based on the mom's participation in consentual adult activity, but on how you two have parented the child. Who gets the child up in the mornings? Who feeds the child? Who takes the child shopping for new clothes? Who take the child to the doctor and dentist? Who meets with the teachers? Etc. If you both provide equal parenting, some courts will consider a 50/50 possession schedule. You have to be careful when you approach the court with accusations against your spouse. Shaming the other parent because of their consensual adult activity doesn't always get you what you want. It's just one of many factors the court MIGHT consider in determining what's best for the child. The focus should be on the child and on how the two of you have been parents for the child's whole life.
