Contact a lawyer in the Baton Rouge area. You may be able to nullify the whole matter.

Re: Limits of court orders

If you case has been dismissed in Lousiana, you can probably file in Texas.

Good luck!

Re: Limits of court orders

Dear LawGuru Friend,

My thinking would be that the temporary order of support would continue so long as the suit for a divorce was pending or until it was set aside by a judge. However, if more that 180 days have passed since the suit was filed, you can seek a divorce yourself and end this temporary court order. Of course, your spouse may seek permanent spousal support, if she can show that the break-up of the marriage was your fault; but she will have to do it. I do not think that you would be wise to just ignore this court order simply because your wife never moved foward with the divore suit that she filed. However, you can file a Motion to have it dismissed for failure to take any step in the prosecution of the action for a three year period. There is more to it all than this, but this is something to think about. Best of luck!

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, Atty.

Lake Charles, LA

Failure to file the rule to show cause why a divorce should not be granted, is deemed abandoned if not done within 2 years of service of the petition for divorce...
