We are working through details for an uncontested divorce in Houston, TX. I will be laid off on Dec 31 with a severance package. if the divorce is filed or completed before Dec 31 does the spouse have rights to the severance?
The filing date won't make a difference. The completion date might. Doesn't really sound like this is a really DIYer. You should talk to a good family law attorney. The money you spend now could very easily save you much more in the long run.
Feel free to call the office if you would like to set up a consultation.
