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

default-avatar
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.

What does court require to prove child is not the husband's child?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
The court will require a DNA test of the child and the putative father. You will have to ask for a court order for the testing to be done. The wife will not be able to refuse that. If you want to make sure that you don't pay child support, ask the court to hold off on a final decree until the baby is born and the DNA tests are performed. I suppose it is possible that the court could grant the divorce and keep jurisdiction over the case until the child is born.
