Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My husband was recently incarcerated to the State Penitentary and I have received divorce papers Pro Se.
He knows I would like to have my name back, and that wasn't marked on the papers. Also, he is aware I have 2 children from my boyfriend and they were not mentioned in the form and there is a section in it that can be marked.
At the time of his incarceration he was in arrears to me with child support in excess of $29,000, I have been told that I can put a lein on any life insurance policies he or his parents might have because of the arrears and the fact that I have insurable interest because we do have children together.
Could you please advise me how to proceed. I sent in the acknowledgement to the court that I would be possibly retaining an attorney to help with the divorce.

If he has filed the petition with the court, then you need to have an answer filed, by a certain date to protect yourself and your concerns. The issues you raise are issues that need to be addressed in the counterpetition and the final decree. Contact attorneys in your area, and hire one.
