Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My husband filed for our divorce in Texas, I live in Arkansas now. He is fully aware of that and has my address. But he had the papers sent certified to my son's in Texas, sent to me but c/o my son. My son did not sign for them. What happens if I don't pick the papers up? There are no children involved and no property. I want my previous name back but he did not include that in the paperwork so I do not want to sign them,?

If he has your address but is serving you c/o your son, he may have filed a motion for alternative service. If you don't file an answer in time he could file for a default judgment. You can file an answer requesting that the court give you your name back or he can amend his petition. Since he filed, he has paid the filing fee.
