What do I need to do if I don't want to proceed with my military husbands petition for divorce from his home state?

Bradley Roger Gammell
Answered by attorney Bradley Roger Gammell (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Gammell & Associates
The proper way to contest personal jurisdiction in the divorce suit is for you to file what is called a Special Appearance.   In it you can claim that you do not have sufficient contacts with Texas for the State to exercise jurisdiction over you.  There are exceptions.   For example, if you were a resident of Texas when you were married and then moved out of state in conjunction with your husband's orders, then Texas considers you to remain a Texas resident for divorce purposes.   One other point:  Your husband's claim that you will get nothing in Texas is simply wrong.   Among other things, you will be entitled to a pro-rata portion of his military retirement (assuming that he makes it to 20 years).  In addition, Texas values assets like retirement as of the date of divorce whereas California values them as of the date of separation.   Therefore, you would be entitled to slightly more retired pay if you divorce in Texas.

Am I entitled to part of my home in a divorce?

Answered by attorney Richard Eric Anthony Dwyer
Divorce lawyer at Richard E.A. Dwyer, Esq
Yes, if community property was spent paying the mortgage on the home, you own a portion of the home pursuant to the Moore- Marsden line of cases. Consult with an attorney and advise him or her of all such monies. You are further entitled to a share of the property's appreciation.

Can we go to another county court to file divorce if both of us are not against it?

Your county of residence is the proper place to file for divorce. If you've lived in your current county for at least ninety days and the state of Texas for 6 months, you've met the jurisdictional requirements to file for divorce where you currently live. For more information, be sure to contact a local attorney for a divorce consultation.
