What is the name of your state? : Texas
Hello, i am helping a female friend go through her divorce. It should be an extreamly easy one. They never really lived together, never has any bills or adjoined financial accounts (absolutely nothing literally, both lived seperate the whole time), he pretty much ditched her after getting married.
The court issued a citation to sign, which the husband refused to sign. She brought the final decree of divorce along with a martial settlement agreement (which stated hey had no anything together, IE "I am responsible for my own debts and he he responsible for his"
This was told by the clerk to her to do since they had nothing, it really wasn't a marriage.
However today in court the judge said he couldn't file it because of the fact that the husband did not sign the marital setlement, even though she explaind the fact that they have nothing tieing eachother and he will not sign anything.
He said she needed to use a "differnt course of Final Decree of Divorce", and considered answering which form she needed a legal advice so he couldn't give that out.
What exactly DOES she need? Just add another page to the decree just saying that no debts were obtained during the marriage? Any help would be greatly appreciated
