Flint, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

A divorce order affects the rights of the parties between themselves but does not change the rights of creditors. That means if you signed for a debt, the creditor can come after you for payment even though the divorce orders say your ex is to pay the debt. Your recourse is to sue your ex to enforce the order and that is frequently not a very good remedy.

If you married her formally and you've never gotten divorced from her, you're still married to her. However, if you were never formally married with a marriage license and a judge or minister, the right to claim common law marriage expired two years after you split up.

In SC, there are several factors that weigh into visitation with a minor child as well as whether or not spousal support should be paid as well as many other factors that should always be considered when people are divorcing from one another. You may not think of these factors when you are negotiating but if they become important to you later, your ex could likely say they are not doing it because they did not agree to it and it was not ordered for them to do it and they would be correct. You should consult with an attorney as soon as possible regarding this matter. Further, I do hereby clearly advise against any reliance on the information as advice or application of it to a specific situation without a more thorough consultation with counsel.
