    Spouse Intercepted Court Documents During Divorce Proceedings
    My question involves a marriage in the state of: Texas
    hello, I was married for like 9 years and my ex-husband asked after almost 2 years of off and on splitting up for a divorce. I was happy to give him a divoprce and just get the marriage over and the drama done. First he said we'd do the divorce ourselves then I was served with a letter frfom his attorney telling me that he'd filed for divorce. Two weeks later he called his lawyer and supposedly put a hold on the divorce so that he and i could try and work out our problems and save our marriage. My ex all but, moved back in with me and the children and then the Saturday after easter I asked him for some money which he never gave me but I needed groceries and that was when I found out that not only did his lawyer not stop the divorce, but was the one who told him to move back in with me and the kids so that he could remove my notice to appear for court out of my mail box. So I had no idea I was still getting divorced much less that I needed to go to a court date. I was recently told that due to the illegal actions taken by my ex and his attorney to obtain the divorce that I have grounds to ask to have an annullment of the divorce is that true and if so how do I start the process? I am ashamed that this man was able to pull this on me and then brag about his actions later. please help me.

    Re: Divorce
    You start by hiring yourself a lawyer to review the divorce file.

    You might not need to cancel the divorce as it seems that you are better off being divorced from this jerk.

    You might only need to revisit property division, support, and possibly alimony.

    If your next comment is that you can't afford a lawyer then, sorry, nothing changes for you.

    Your best course of action? You will contact a lawyer. You will explain the situation to your lawyer. You will have your lawyer file a motion to set aside the divorce judgment, and for whatever relief you desire from whatever objectionable content is in that judgment.

    At the end of the day, you will end up being divorced -- so if it's the fact of the divorce to which you are objecting and not the property settlement or custody order, you will need to consider whether it's worth the trouble to try to set it aside when odds are you're going to ultimately end up in the same place.
