Texas
The moral of the story is my mom found out Tuesday August 24, 2010 that her husband passed away 2 weeks ago. She contacted his retirement plan to see what they needed from her to start receiving his retirement, and she was informed she wouldn’t receive any retirement due to the divorce decreed on file.
What’s strange is my mom didn’t know she had been divorced from Rob. She called the county clerk’s office in Arkansas and found that indeed she was divorced, but she never received any notification. The clerk stated the address they show was in Sache, TX and the divorce was granted in August 2008.
She and Rob married in Sache TX in June 2005, but in 2007 she sent him back to Arkansas due to the fact he lied to her about moving to TX full time. She has sent off for a copy of the decreed. What is really weird is that I called the constable office in Sache, and they don’t show any record of my mom trying to be served.
My question
1. Can someone get a divorce granted if the other party didn’t know about it?
2. If someone else signed her name to the decreed what action can be done in order for her to receive his retirement?
3. Should the people that forged the documents be prosecuted for their action?
4. The retirement amount is only $258.00 a month, but he did make her the beneficiary, and she is on income.
Sincerely,
nixrae
any advice would be helpful god bless and have a wonderful day
