Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I handle divorces in Texas (but only if uncontested). You say your husband abandonment you, but do you know where he is (i.e. a mailing address?) Could you find where he is?

If you can find him you may be able to do an Uncontested Divorce .

Contact me for a free consultation.

Good Luck!

You file a petition for divorce as in any other case. If you have no idea where he can be personally served with process, then you may qualify for substituted service, or you may have to do a publication notice divorce. I am a board certifired specialist in the field of family law, practicing in the general Houston area. I would be glad to discuss the options available to you if you would contact me directly at 713-600-5500.

Based on what you have written, there are a few options available to you. The first step in any proceeding is to file the petition for divorce. Afterwards your soon-to-be ex will have to be served with the petition. Now there are a few variables with service - direct service (personal) or alternate service (notice at last known address or publication). Once service has been completed, then everything moves forward from that point. My firm has years of experience in dealing with family law related matters, and most of the time is more cost-effective than some other attorneys. You should always consult with a few different law firms and go with the firm that you feel the most comfortable with - as you should be able to discuss you case with someone at the firm you have paid.
