Re: trying to find out about a divorice
I do not know West Virginia law.
A divorce in Texas must be on file a minimum of 61 days before it can become final. It does NOT
automatically become final after that time.
A divorce is not final until 30-days after a judge signs the final decree of divorce.
Therefore, based on the facts you presented you cannot assume that you are divorced.
