Sure. File yourself. If this is Texas, the original suit should be dismissed for want of prosecution. "Reactivation of the papers" - will they come alive like Pinocchio?

How can I protect my finances in a divorce

Renea Overstreet
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.

If you have ever lived in the state of Texas for six months and once you reside in a county of Texas for ninety days then you can file for divorce in Texas in the county of your residence. You may seek temporary orders for support, use of the property, payment of the bills, child custody, visitation and child support along with restraining orders or injunctions. Upon divorce the court will make orders that are in the best interest of the children and divide the community assets and debts in a just and fair manner considering fault in the breakup.
