Appeal on a divorce??? Please Help!
What is the name of your state? Texas
I was married in 1987 and separated a few years later. I had a child from this marriage in 1988 and it was arranged for my grandmother to have full custody and I pay child support. I just recently filed for a divorce too finally put an end to my irresponsibility and move on with my life.
In 1998 my ex was incarcerated for sexual assault of a child. When I filed for divorce first he denied paternity then he filed a continence then he filed a pauper's oath. The divorce was granted on May 24, 2002. I have not seen this man for 13 years. I just wanted a divorce nothing more. No child support no property nothing just a divorce. So now he has filed an appeal stating that the judge was bias and made one sided decisions and did not give him proper notice in a timely fashion. (which is not true). I had to relive my attorney due to conflict of interest. Now I am not sure what steps to take to protect myself and my family. He has been sending harassing letters to my daughter who is a witness in the case he is in prison for. I am also a witness in that case. It is obvious that he just wants revenge and wants to prolong this divorce in order to keep me from getting remarried.
What steps do I need to take here? Is there anything I can file to speed up this process? I am even willing to offer him money to stop harassing me though the legal system. I know I am probably grasping at straws here but any info or direction in this case will be helpful. Or even a recommendation for an attorney in Dallas, Texas that could take a case like this. Thank you for your time and effort.
