| How much longer?
What is the name of your state? Texas This is a rather long, convoluted situation. If there are any attornies out there or people who have been in the same situation, I would appreciate any and all feedback/advice. I met the man that I currently am with in Sept. 2004. At that time, he had final paperwork for a divorce from his wife of less than 3 years. They had been separated for 9 months (this was the second time) at that time and it was the third divorce filing (him twice, her once). She decided to not sign the paperwork and started playing hardball. When they finally went before a judge in Feb. 2005, her attorney threw everything there was to stall the divorce because she had decided she wasn't going to get divorced and would do anything in her power to stop it. After a couple of court dates, the judge dismissed the case. He immediately refiled and when a new court date was set, it turned into a court fiasco. The judge ordered both of them to anger management classes together. He was dismissed after three sessions but she was ordered to two months of intensive one-on-one counseling. This was all in fall 2005. In Oct. 2005, she filed personal bankruptcy to stall the proceedings for 6 months. His attorney told him that the bankruptcy would stall the divorce for 3-4 months but that it had to be finalized within 6 months. That 6 months would have ended this month. He went to the court house today to see where the bankruptcy stands only to find out that she had the papers redrawn on the bankruptcy and refiled, which means it will start all over again. If it goes for the whole six-month period, the proceedings won't even be able to start again until Aug. 2006. She has an unlimited amount of money and between the two of them they have spent nearly $50,000 in attorney fees. He is willing to give her everything, except for his car, which he paid off himself. We are certain that we want to be together and are ready to get on with our lives and begin a family. This has been an almost unbelieveable situation. My questions are: 1. Can a court grant him a divorce even though she is in bankruptcy? 2. At what point does the judge say enough is enough? 3. Does he have any legal recourse since she is obviously dragging this out and costing more and more money? Thank you for any and all advice. |
