Yes. The child is 12. My husband stated he was homeless at the time of the divorce, so I'm not sure when or how he was served or if he was even served. I've never lived in Texas, so I don't know if the respondent gets served there.
My husband left Texas long before we met. He was still homeless when he moved to Missouri, which is where we live. He and his first wife were divorced in Texas, and she has since moved to Florida with her child. The only reason we know about this was because we started getting notices from the state of Florida regarding the child support, which was previously paid to Texas. I really don't know why he didn't dispute paternity at the time of the divorce, but I do know that he was homeless and couldn't afford a lawyer, so he may not have been aware of his options. I cannot speak for his choices for the time before we met and married, but I do know that we haven't been able to afford a lawyer, as he has been attending university, and I have been attending college myself, taking care of my disabled child, and working when I can. We're in a better position to afford a lawyer now, so we've been exploring our options. Even if there's nothing we can do to find out for sure whether or not the child is my husband's biologically, we still need to know which state to contact to modify the order to allow us to get to know the child through visitation.
