Is it up to me to find my ex or do I have to hire an attorney?

Has he stopped paying alimony? If so, file a motion for contempt and you will need to find out where he is living. You could hire a private investigator. I think it is always better to get an attorney involved because the attorney knows what to do.

How can I protect my finances in a divorce

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
In Texas, your income is community property. Even if you put it in a different account, it is still community property. All courts allow you to get a temporary restraining order that would prevent either of you from emptying any account once the case is filed. Does your wife work? Her income is considered community property as well.
