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.

What will I be entitled to in a divorce if we have a prenup?

Answered by attorney John F. Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
You should see an attorney, most states have statutes to protect a spouse from being totally written out of a will, however there are ways to get around them.

My ex lied about transmitting HIV

Zoe Ann Meigs
Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
Please add some information to let us know what you are asking.  If you are married and you file for divorce you could consider adding a claim to the pleading for  emotional distress.  That sort of claim is difficult to prove if you have not sought counseling or medical help as a result of the distress.
