    Default Filing for Divorce After Your Spouse Leaves the Country

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: Texas. Two weeks ago I was contacted by a police officer who informed me that my husband had been engaged in some indecent activity on the internet with a 14 year old girl and that he could turn himself in and post bond. Apparently he didn't want to because he has fled the country leaving behind me and his six year old daughter. I haven't heard from him since. He's not a citizen, just a permanent legal resident. I want to know how to go about getting a divorce and what my rights are. We have been together for eight years and have been married for five.

    You have the right to file for divorce in Texas. If the child is not yours, where is the child's mother? You should probably contact her so she can come and get her child. How do you know your husband fled the country?

    I do apologize, I meant to say that he had left me and our daughter. I found out the morning after he left when I checked our bank account there was a neat little line of transactions all the way down there. Also the police officer knows. I think they have pictures of our car going across the border.

    I suggest closing down the account and any joint credit, lest you find yourself receiving large bills and overdraft notices.
