San Augustine, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

If you're all Texans for more than six months, Kansas won't have jurisdiction to entertain your divorce/custody case until you and the children have been there for six months, and if the kids are taken there without your spouse's actual or implied consent (or at least without his objection), you'll have a jurisdiction problem even then. This area is full of reasons for caution.

If signatures were required from a spouse in order to get divorced, then that would give one spouse dominion over the other in perpetuity. Slavery was outlawed, so no. This is no different than forcing someone to a trial who denies any wrongdoing.

Your best course of action is to contact an attorney who practices in the area of divorce law in or near the county where you and your husband live.That attorney can explain to you that property inherited by one spouse is that spouse's sole and separate property and is not community property.  If your husband inherited assets from his family (or really from anyone else), those assets are his sole and separate property and you have no community rights to them.You may be entitled to spousal maintenance under the Texas Family Code if you are destitute and homeless.  There are specific statutory requirements that you must satisfy, and spousal maintenance is limited in amount and duration.  You will need proof of your efforts to secure gainful employment or of any disability that prevents you from securing gainful employment.
