Can I file an emergency motion of continuance 3days before a final divorce trial?

John Michael Frick
Answered by attorney John Michael Frick (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Reid Dennis Frick, PC
Yes, you can file an emergency motion for continuance at any time, including three days before your trial begins.  You will need to describe in detail the emergency and support the factual allegations with an affidavit or declaration.The fault issues and domestic violence issues should be raised in your pleadings and do not need to be raised in the motion unless they are germane to the emergency requiring a continuance.  To be clear, only learning recently that you have grounds for a fault-based divorce based on past conduct you witnessed or experienced does not constitute an emergency.  Past domestic violence that you experienced or witnessed, similarly, does not constitute an emergency.An example of a good ground to support an emergency motion for continuance might be that you have recently been hospitalized and do not expect to be released from the hospital before your trial is scheduled to begin.  If you have been hospitalized because of a recent domestic violence incident, then that incident would be germane to the emergency.

Can she take the kids without my permission if my wife and I are currently separated?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Reshard Juquin Alexander (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at RJ Alexander Law, PLLC
This is a complicated issue and more information must be known before you can receive a definitive answer. How long have you lived in Texas? Are you divorced? Where is the divorce decree? United States? Australia? Is there a custody order in place? You need to quickly consult a local family lawyer if she is planning to leave the local city where you live with the kids.

Divorce Decree is not being followed by ex

John Michael Frick
Answered by attorney John Michael Frick (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Reid Dennis Frick, PC
Yes, there can be repercussions for not abiding by a court order.  The divorce court that issued the order might hold your ex-spouse in contempt of court, might enter other orders to enforce its property division, or might need to clarify the decree so that its order is clear and unambiguous enough to enforce by contempt.  The attorney who assisted you in your divorce proceedings should be able to discuss your options for enforcement including the anticipated cost of further proceedings.
