Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

In your county file a Petition for Divorce. It costs around $300 to file for a divorce.

You have a no-fault divorce in Texas. In Texas, you do not need a reason to divorce your spouse. You don't have to stay married if you don't want to be married. He cannot force you to stay married to him. He can slow it down but eventually you will get a divorce.

You are entitled to split 1/2 of all assets and debts that occurred during the marriage - unless there was something acquired from inheritance or a gift.

I would urge you to hire an attorney to help you.
