Re: divorce

You can file the WAIVER at the time you submit the FINAL DIVORCE DECREE to the court on the day you appear to PROVE-UP your divorce in front of the Judge. Be sure to complete the required State of Texas BVS form at the time you appear before the judge to finalize your divorce.

If you don't understand my last paragraph, then you probably need to talk to an attorney licensed in the State of Texas.

Good luck!

I usually don't recommend the divorce documents for sale in bookstores, office supply stores and the internet since most are not designed for use in the State of Texas.

You would be wise to pay for a little of Ms. Brochstein's time or that of another family law attorney. Isn't your future important enough to get this right?
