Cynthia's answer: Hire a divorce attorney and file in Texas once you have lived here six months. Your divorce attorney will see to it that your spouse is served with papers in Mexico.
Can a man marry someone from another country divorce her and marry her sister?: I know someone in my community who married a woman from another country. Divorced her and married her sister to make her a citizen. During this time the first wife filed bankruptcy and had a baby with her husband whom is now married to her sister...
Cynthia's answer: Yes, you can do it-- there may be some question as to whether the immigration authorities will view it as a legitimate marriage, however.
Do i need a lwayer or a mediator to help me speed up a divorce? my soon to be ex refuses to give me his schedule in writing.: i filed for divorce without representation on nov 18. since that time my soon to be ex husbands father retained an atty. it has taken her more than 4 weeks since thier conversation to draft a proposed decree, i believe most details we have agreed upon, i drafted a rocket lawyer document, he agreed to most things-- how do i speed this process up now that we will be physically seperating soon? we have 2 boys, 7 and 8, and for custody reasons until he moves out of state in june, i need his schedule in advance so i can work my own work schedule around his, he refuses to cooperate. he is a 4th year radiology resident, he does work long hours, but he insists he has no visibility on his schedule. i believe that he is simply not being proactive and telling me. lawyer or mediator?
Cynthia's answer: Generally, its a bad idea to proceed with a divorce with no attorney. This is far more true when your spouse has an attorney. This is even more true when children are involved. You admit that you are already having difficulty with your spouse! Don't play around with this--- you have two children, and a bad custody order is not worth saving a few thousand dollars. There is nothing sadder to me than having to say to a client: "I wish you had contacted me before."
