Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Respondent's Original Answer
I have chosen to file for divorce in the state of Texas. I then proceded to send certified mail a copy of the original petition and waiver of citation to my spouse. He did not respond by filing the waiver of citation but rather entered a Respondent''s Original Answer in which it says, I am the respondent in this case. I enter a general denial and request notice of all hearings in this case. What does this mean?

Re: Respondent's Original Answer
If you're going to be your own attorney, then you need to study up on these things. The judge is not going to give you a break just because you're not a lawyer. You have to be ready just like us lawyers. Do your homework. Good Luck.

It means that this is not an uncontested divorce. I suggest you find yourself a good family law attorney.
