Do common law require a divorce when the relationship is over?

Zoe Ann Meigs
Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
If you are married and you do not want to be married, you need to file for divorce.  Living together is not enough in itself to make you married under the law.  To be common law married in Texas, you must agree with each other to be married, represent to others that you are married to each other and then cohabit in Texas while still agreeing to be married.  When you discuss your situation with an attorney, the attorney will ask you what facts support a claim that you and he are married. The lawyer may then offer you advice or an opinion about whether your claim will succeed in court. It may be a financial advantage to you to file for divorce if there is property to divide.  A house is usually one of the largest assets in a divorce.

We filed a divorce but the lawyer of my husband is holding up the case, can I file something to get this resolved?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)

If your husband's attorney will not help you finalize the divorce, your best bet is to hire an attorney of your own. Because your case is almost finalized, it shouldn't cost you a great deal to find someone to help you get it done. It could be that the attorney hasn't been paid by your ex, so he's withholding the final paperwork. Or there could be other issues at play with his attorney causing the delay (illness, travel, etc.). You just never know.

Need to know what steps I need to take?

John Michael Frick

Divorce lawyer at Reid Dennis Frick, PC
You should hire an attorney who practices in the area of family law in or near the county where you live to file a divorce action.  Unless your case is unusually complicated, you should be able to find an attorney who is willing to accept your case for an initial retainer of $5,000-10,000 depending upon your particular facts and circumstances.  That attorney may be able to secure child support for you as well as reimbursement for attorney fees if you lack control of sufficient community funds to pay your attorney and have to borrow or charge the retainer on a credit card if your wife does have control of community funds.
