Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

legally divorced?

I was being treated for depression when I signed my divorce papers and I wanted to know if that fact would make my divorce null and void. Also, while my ex-husband and I were going through our divorce and even after our divorce we still lived together. Does this have any effect on anything?

Re: legally divorced?

If the Judge signed the divorce documents over 30 days ago, then the divorce has become final.

"Depression" does not make a divorce void.

If it has been less than 30 days, you can ask for a Motion for New Trial. If you want to reopen the divorce, the paperwork must be done immediately!!!!!!

Good luck!
