Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: uncontested divorce

I have no way of knowing if the documents you have filed are valid, enforceable, or in your or your child's best interest. I do know that every county allows a Petitioner or Plaintiff, to file an Affidavit of Inability to Pay Costs, and if approved by the judge, will waive the cost of filing fees. Contact the court clerk.

If you are indigent, there are non-profit agencies that can provide legal representation.

Re: uncontested divorce

Based on what you have written, you might want to consider filing an affidavit of indengecy status with the Court. If the Court finds that you are indengent, then the Court may waive the filing fees. Without reviewing the actual petition and decree, it would be virtually impossible for an attorney to let you know if the petition and decree is acceptable to the Court and in the best interest of your child. If my local family law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please conatact us at [email protected] to arrange for an initial consultation.

You have to file.

Re: uncontested divorce

Documents signed before the divorce is even filed are not be valid, presuming that what you downloaded is even usable. Many of the things you can download from the internet are literally trash and do not meet the legal requirements for Texas. Besides a Pauper's Oath to have the filing fees waived, Harris County has legal aid several options.

There are standards and requirements you have to know and abide by if you are going to be your own attorney.
