Can I bring my new wife without consequence, and then, after I arrive back home, continue to attempt to locate my estranged mate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Marie Andree Michaud (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Marie Michaud, Attorney At Law
There is a problem if you failed to obtain a divorce before marrying the second wife. You need to rectify this situation before filing for your second wife's paperwork. Hiding the first marriage or any form of misrepresentation on your immigration paperwork is a very bad idea. 1. Get a divorce from Wife one. 2. Then get remarried with Wife two. 3. Then you can start the immigration paperwork once one and two have been done.

If I divorce my wife in Texas what portion of my annuity will she get?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Graves Law Firm
As a general rule she'll get half of whatever portion of the annuity's value was accumulated during the marriage. For example, if you were already drawing benefits when you got married, your spouse is probably entitled to nothing. If the annuity is an employee benefit and you were married to your spouse for the entire time you were earning it, it's a presumptive half-and-half split. You need a lawyer if you're getting divorced.

Can DES do a DNA test without my knowledge or consent?

Answered by attorney William R. Pelger
Divorce lawyer at Pelger Law
That's a complicated situation. You would have to file support enforcement proceedings against someone you have now remarried and share a home with? You really need to go to the Family Division, see a counselor and look at the file to learn what is actually going on. Or, hire a lawyer to do it for you. As far as the testing, the Family Division can do mouth swabs on a reputed father if paternity is an issue, but the story sounds suspicious to me. Normally, DNA testing is difficult to get retroactively, is generally done only by court order, and is usually initiated by one of the parties, not the Family Division.
