Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
How do I respond?
I am going through a divorce right now and while I live in Texas my ex lives in Wisconsin. I filed papers here but he went ahead and also filed papers in Wisconsin two days before I did. I was served his papers and have only 10 days to respond. I was wondering how I go about responding to this so it won't default. The trouble is we have a one year old son and I don't want him to have any custody or anything cause he is a alcholic with a record of domestic abuse on me.

Re: How do I respond?
You said you "filed papers" which leads me to believe that you are trying to do this yourself. If so, you are now in over your head. I strongly suggest that you consult with an attorney. What you say in the documents to respond to your husband's lawsuit is very important. Good Luck.
