I am not trying to confuse you. I was a stay at home mother he filed for divorce in Montgomery county we lived in Davidson county. TN law says you have to live in the county for 3 months before you can file. He filed inappropiate marital conduct(he was the one that had a girlfriend) He was home every night. I didn't get served, knew nothing about it. Eight months later he gave my mom a divorce decree his signature and a judges and his lawyers it was not certified/stamped it was dated not long after he stopped coming home so he did this while he was home. There was a paper where he was suppose to keep insurance and he gets every day as his time I get 2 supervised visits a year he decides everything school, activities etc. No child support mentioned I didn't have a job or he probably would have asked. He got the car the house everything in the house. No spousal support. So is that divorce by default/ no show. He did that on purpose he was there every night. I am not sure why he could file in that county unless he bought a place there. I don't have a home or car he got them, it is very difficult. I haven't heard from him in 5 1/2 years. I called 911 to report my daughter missing. He came by the house once in 6 months with my daughter let me hold her 5 minutes grabbed her kicked me and shoved me and took her to his mom's car and his mom took her. I called 911 told them he kicked me/shoved me and they didn't fill out a report.
Ask any questions you want I wil try to answer the best I can. SOmeone from another law board said the divorce is final but I might renogotiate the settlement on the grounds of improper service and that I would have to go to Tennessee and stay and fight there because that is where he filed. Please ask any question you want because I don't hardly believe all this happen either but I am living this. I couldn't believe it could be that easy for this to happen. I have to be missing something. I haven't been able to get a certified copy of the decree. The copy of the decree he gave me was old and stained he had it but is that everything for real??? A judge signed it. The house was in his name but it was our marital home he bought it while we were engaged for us to move in to we lived ther 8 months before we got married.
Thanks
