Can my wife who recently filed for divorce get any of my pension funds?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
Probably. You don't say how long you've been married, but Texas is a community property state, so any income you've earned during the marriage (including retirement and pension accounts) are subject to division. I strongly recommend that you contact a divorce attorney to make sure your rights are protected.

What can I do if Spouse refuses to sign divorce papers?

Answered by attorney Peter David Ticktin (Unclaimed Profile)

I'm not sure what papers he needs to sign. You do not need his signature to start a dissolution of marriage. You can file the Petition for Dissolution for Marriage and have it served on your husband. He will then have 20 days to respond to the Petition, if he does not Answer your Petition, you can get a default against him and have a final hearing without him. There are forms online for filing for a Dissolution of Marriage, but it is best if you speak with an attorney and bring the paperwork you already have so an attorney can advise you specifically as to the issues of your situation.
