Can my husband make me leave the state if we divorce?

Answered by attorney John F. Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
It is impossible answer your question given the lack of information you provided. Generally you should see an attorney and determine what your rights are. Following your divorce, it will be up to you, subject to various orders the court assuming you have children, whether or not he will be allowed to leave the state.

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 CAN I DO TO GET MY EX HUSBANDS TOTAL VESTED RETIREMENT AMOUNT

Zoe Ann Meigs
Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
Handling a QDRO without an attorney is a risky business, but I do understand your frustration. You may want to hire an attorney to complete the QDRO and the processing of it through the court and then the retirement plan. My initial question is why do you need his most recent statment?  You may use a percentage in the QDRO if that is what it states in your decree.  You do not need to state the current value of the account in most QDROs.  The company will know the value of the account as of the date of divorce, which is when most divorce decrees and QDROs include as the valuation date for dividing the QDRO. Assuming you have a form for the QDRO and have it completed, then you need to file a Motion with the court to enter a post-divorce order to divide the retirment.  You will need to have your ex-husband served with the Motion and proposed QDRO.  Altenatively, if he will cooperate, you may present him with a Waiver of Service for the Motion and have him sign that.   His lawyer will need to sign the QDRO before you present it to the court to sign.
