| | | Can he stop the divorce?!
What is the name of your state? Texas 
My husband and I have been seperated for 6yrs. and I finally filed for divorce June 25, 2005 and my future ex has not signed any papers from my attorney. He now says he does not want the divorce. I received papers from the court saying my case will be dismissed June 25, 2006. Can his avoiding tactics deny me my divorce?What is the name of your state? |

So I guess the answer is Yes. now, what reason did the court give you for dismissal?

You don't have to have your husband's signature to get divorced, you just have to proceed with the case on a contested basis. |

| | | Thanks, I've been trying to get in touch with my attorney (legal aid) I haven't heard from them since I filed the papers. Isn't that a bit odd? |
