Trying to divorce husband that is in prison for 4 years

Matthew Kyle Simcox
Answered by attorney Matthew Kyle Simcox (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Simcox Law Firm, P.L.L.C.
I'm not sure that I have enough information to fully answer your question, but if he filed an answer with the court, then he has to have notice of the hearing date.  If he did not file an answer, then I would suggest you just schedule a time to prove up the divorce (I do not know Harris County procedures for this) and be done with him.  His telling you on the phone that he wants to contest the divorce is immaterial if he has not filed anything with the Court.  He is in default so long as he was properly served. I would suggest getting in touch with an attorney in your area if your husband answered the lawsuit because you do not want your husband holding the rest of your life hostage - at least until he gets out of prison. Good luck.

If I get a legal separation, do I have to leave my home?

Annette M Cox Sandoval
Answered by attorney Annette M Cox Sandoval (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Cox Sandoval Law, PLLC
A legal separation has to resolve property issues just like a divorce. Depending upon who owns the house, what disclaimer deeds etc have been signed, will determine who can stay. I would consult an attorney if you want more information.

Do I only get half until day we divorced or does it accumulate interest or get half of all retirement when she retires?

Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
You are only entitled to one half of what she earned during the marriage. As of the date of separation, the community property interest in the retirement benefit terminated.
