Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Divorced or Not
My ex-husband and I never had a chance to sign the divorce decree. So my question is, am I legally divorced? The Judge and each of the attorneys signed the decree in June of 1997 and it is listed in the court archives.
Thank you

Re: Divorced or Not
If the Judge signed the Final Decree of Divorce and you have a certified copy of the document, congratulations -- you are divorced as of the date of the Judge's signature.
The Judge's signature is the ONLY one that matters.
