Do I have to leave the house after my husband has filed?

Answered by attorney Reshard Juquin Alexander (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at RJ Alexander Law, PLLC
You do not have to leave your house after the initial divorce petition has been filed. However, there should be a temporary orders hearing within a few days of the filing that determines these types of issues. Because Texas is a community property state you are entitled to half of everything that has been earned by either party outside of a gift, inheritance, or a personal injury settlement. I would advise you to contact a local family lawyer very quickly to properly protect your interests in this case.

Is it possible that the divorce is final, if I hadn't received any notification of court dates or signed a waiver?

Divorce lawyer at Graves Law Firm
If you signed the petition, HE's the one who should have signed and filed the waiver. Why don't you just check with the court clerk where the divorce was to have been filed? The clerk can tell you if the petition and/or the waiver got filed, and if a divorce decree was ever entered. It's not likely that a divorce decree was entered without your signature.

If a couple gets married in one state does state law where they live apply in the divorce?

No. Generally speaking the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside at the time you file for a dissolution of marriage apply to your case, not those of the jurisdiction where you married. Unless, of course, they are the same jurisdiction.
