I have a texas marriage license but live in colorado ..can my husband force me to come back to texas for divorce

Kelly Snodgrass
Answered by attorney Kelly Snodgrass
Divorce lawyer at Robinson & Henry, P.C.
First, if he controls the money and always has, he will likely be responsible for your attorney fees.  You should definitely consult an attorney.  The question is - in what state should you consult an attorney? Jurisdiction (what state the divorce can happen in) is determined by where the parties live, not by where the marriage or wedding occured.  How long have you lived in Colorado?  How long has he lived in Texas?  Do you have children?  In Colorado, you must have resided here, with an intent to live here permanently, for at least 90 days.  If that is the case, we could certainly help you.  If not, I am not licensed in Texas and you would need to contact a lawyer there. As to the prenuptial agreement, it is only enforceable regarding spousal support to the extent it is not grossly unfair to you.  The situation you describe sounds like it IS grossly unfair to you and can likely be challenged. I strongly suggest you consult an attorney because the issues are complex and he has a much strong negotiating position.

Is it possible for me to get custody of my daughter or will she get it and I have to pay child support?

Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock
Answered by attorney Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mackoy, Hernandez, Jones and Woods LLP
No experienced lawyer will give you a direct answer to any custody questions - there are too many variables. The judge is to consider all of the facts and do what is best for the child. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

Do I keep the car that my husband gave after divorce me even if it is in his name?

Answered by attorney John E. Kirchner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at John E. Kirchner
Division of property and debts is, first and foremost, a matter for you and your husband to discuss and attempt to reach a comprehensive agreement you both ;believe is fair and can both live with. If you agree, a court will simply accept your agreement and make it a court order. If you can't agree, a judge will have to decide what is a fair. There are no fixed rules for how you or the judge has to decide what is fair. The name on the title to property does not control what can or should happen to the property. If the property was acquired during the marriage, it is considered marital no matter whose name is on the title.
