What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I just got my divorce papers in the mail yesterday. The divorce was uncontested, I signed a waiver of citation before the filing and also an affadavit for my name to return to my maiden name. We mutually agreed to a dissolution of marriage which we had notarized prior to the filing since we owned no property nor had children together. This is where I need help, he has three children from previous relationships and I have one child from previous relationships. None of our children ever lived with us during our marriage of five years. In the papers it states we have no children and do not expect any. In one of the last paragraphs it states that it is ordered and declared HE takes the tax exemptions for the dependant child. This child is not named in the document nor is a social securtiy number stated....how could he have rights to a child that is not his and never lived with us? Please advise.
