Cutten, CA Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You are entitled to deal with the car in any way you select because you are the registered owner of it. However, taking the car back to the lien holder may result in them demanding payment for whatever losses they claim to have by reason of not being paid, decrease in value of the car, etc. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

My research indicates that the only place he could file for divorce would be in the State of Texas. Texas law requires that his spouse has been a resident of Texas for more than 6 months and the case would have to be filed in the County where she has resided for the past 90 days in order for the Texas court to have jurisdiction to grant him a divorce. Texas is a "no fault" divorce state so he wouldn't have to worry about grounds for divorce. She would have to be served with the papers and there is a 60 day "cooling off period" before a divorce can be granted. Because there is a child of this marriage it would probably take longer for the divorce to be granted because there would be an investigation needed for child support considerations.

It is you who put these matters in issue before the court. The other side has a right to have relevant records to examine and find arguments against your request. If you feel they have gone back too far, you can object to that particular year and then meet and confer with the attorney, but if you can't come to an agreement, you will have to go to court to let the Judge decide if they are a reasonable basis in asking for the records. If you should lose the argument on that motion, then you will be ordered to pay the other side's attorney fees incurred for the time taken fighting about getting the records they requested. The medical records are certainly relevant if you are asking for support beyond age 19.
