Is change of venue mandatory in this Texas divorce?

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
You could complete the case in the county where your spouse lived if the spouse lived there for 90 days before you filed. But your spouse may ask for a change a venue to the county where the children live (which is now the county where everyone lives now).

If a new attorney substitutes in on a case, that new attorney takes the case in whatever status it is in at the time.   That said, the new attorney is free to file amended pleadings to potentially change the issues in the case.  Motions to substitute counsel are routinely granted by the court.

Do you count from the time the divorce is filed or from the time its finalized.

Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
The good news is that the marriage is not over until the judge signs a final decree of divorce. So you will make it to ten years.  There's a minimum waiting period after filing a divorce of sixty days after the filing date. Plus you are going to be entitled to your share of the property whether or not you have been married ten years.  If you are asking about military retirement benefits you are entitled to a share after even a short marriage. The ten years gets you the advantage of being paid your portion of husband's retirement directly from DFAS. The ten year mark is also relevant in eligibility for spousal maintenance after the divorce. I recommend you check with the district clerk in your county to see if a divorce has been filed. Yes he needs to have you served or ask you to sign a waiver, but people are sneaky sometimes.
