Lake Jackson, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

I know of no legal basis for forcing anyone to leave any state under any circumstances, except in the case of some sort of immigration violation, in which case it would be up to the INS to take action, not a private citizen.

If the divorce case is still pending (usually cases are dismissed for want of prosecution after 3-6 months if the Respondent has not been served), and you and your husband can reach an agreement on the division of your marital estate, you can probably get an attorney in or near the county where the case is pending to prepare a final decree and the ancillary documents and to prove up the divorce for $5,000 or less.  A simple divorce with no kids and limited assets shouldn't cost more than this in Texas unless you and your husband disagree on the division of your marital estate.

Ideally, your share of interest in the construction company would have been paid to you before the divorce is final in a settlement for what the company's worth was at the time of the divorce. At this point, you may be able to file a suit to enforce to receive 1% of the sale of the company, but you only have 2 years from the date of your divorce to bring this kind of lawsuit. I highly recommend investing in a consultation with a local attorney to find out your options in this case.
