    Default How to Complete an Uncontested Divorce if Your Spouse Won't Sign the Judgment

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: Texas
    The separation was agreed upon by both parties and signed in Virginia by both my ex and myself. Then I moved to Texas and ended up filing for divorce here. She moved back to Germany (although she is an American citizen) and since then has been very hard to get answers out of. The divorce papers are written exactly as she wanted them, I have given her everything she asked for, I even paid for her to move back to Germany and gave her money to take care of herself. Now that the papers have been sent to her in Germany, I can not seem to get any action or response from her. My lawyer told me there is a five year time frame put on those papers and that a divorce won't be granted without her signature until it has been 5 years with no response... is this true?!?! Is there any course of action I can take to get the divorce granted quicker without her signature? We have been legally separated for almost 2 years and I just want to be done!

    Default Re: "Uncontested" Divorce but She Moved to Europe and Won't Sign the Papers

    I have never heard of such a rule - even in Texas!

    Ask your attorney for the statute.
