Texas-
My daughter in law has been trying to get a divorce for a year and a half now with no results. Her husband has a very unethical and unscrupulous attorney who tries to trash my daughter in law in every hearing and mediation. Her husband makes agreements then refuses to sign the agreement (stall tactics). He has signed over the real estate to her and moved away 6 months ago and is not paying child support. The husband says he wants to go to trial (bluff or not I don't know). I figure the only reason he would want a trial is just so his attorney can make nasty accusations in public again. So the wife wants to avoid court because it would only hurt the children more as well as the rest of the family. Her lawyer is also dragging her feet. This family has already spent close to $50,000 and they were living in a run down mobile home. It doesn't make sense to me that an unscrupulous lawyer and a moron could be allowed by law to cause this much harm. My question is really 2 questions.
One - can the wife wait some period of time and get a divorce even though the husband will not agree to it. And if so how much time?
Two - is there any way the wife can get some paper or court order that would satisfy a title company since the divorce is not finale so she can get a mortgage on the property? The house was under construction on a construction loan. The husband has signed a deed etc and the bank will give her a mortgage but the Title Company says the divorce has to be finale.
This family is in desperate financial shape now because of the husband's foul deeds and the wife has to fully support the children so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. The case is in Texas.What is the name of your state?
