Blackwell, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You don't provide enough information to understand what your problem is. But, the simple answer is that if there is no divorce case or court order involve, any deadlines are established by the pension plan administrator and that is who you need to talk to.

Yes.   Jurisdiction to grant a divorce is based on your domicile at the time you file.   Provided you have lived in Texas for 6 months and in the county in which you file for 90 days--at the time you file your petition for divorce--you can get divorced in Texas.

Unfortunately, due to the issues surrounding your case (having children, one of whom has been abused by your ex husband), it will be very difficult for you to pursue this case on your own. You want to ensure that you receive as many protections as you can for your children as well as whatever you are entitled to financially (child support, your share of community property, etc.). As such, I recommend contacting several local attorneys and asking them if they offer payment plans or alternative billing arrangements to handle cases like yours. If you don't find any attorneys willing to take your case at a reduced fee or willing to make payment arrangements, my next suggestion is to ask for help from close family and friends. You need a qualified attorney's representation for the best possible outcome. Good luck.
