I was convicted of a State Jail Felony (evading detention w/ a vehicle) (State of TX) in July of 2004 and sentenced to serve 20 months. A month prior to this, my wife & I were living together with our daughter at the time. My wife left me and took my daughter prior to my incarceration. She had taken off with her Mother, who had sold her house and quit her job. My wife has never held a job. I never heard a word from her during my incarceration nor did any of my family members. She has completly disappeared. I have consulted a lawyer recently on how to go about getting a divorce when shes missing, along with any of visitation rights to re-establish a relationship with our daughter. The lawyer says that it is my burden to have someone find her (Private Investigator) and then I can proceed from there. Lawyer says I can get a divorce by by default but that will not help with any visitation arrangements. Well I had a Private Investigator do some searching. I provided him with both my wife & daughters SSN#'s. Along with her relatives/friends information. He has found absolutely no information on her what so ever. The most recent record he came across was in 2004 which was a record of her at our former residence. I desperately want to find her so I can proceed legally and hopefully re-establish a relationship with our daughter. The situation is not looking good at all so far. Any information anyone could provide would be helpful.
