Texas
My boyfriend's wife recently filed a divorce petition on the 17th here in Brazoria County. She filed a pro-se notice, the original petition, and an affidavit of inability to pay costs. On the 20th she gave him the waiver of service which he filed the same day. Last Friday we saw in the record online that the DA filed a Letter of Contest.
They have been separated since 2009. They have a 4 year old daughter together and settled custody and child support concerns with the court and Texas OAG in May of '10. She is currently pregnant with her boyfriend that lives with her, but put on the petition that she has no other children and is not pregnant.
The trailer she lives in is under her name and paid for. When they first married (back when he was 17 and she was 16 in 2007) their parents gave them each half of the money to purchase the mobile home which had a lost title. It was agreed that when they paid their parents back that her father would transfer the title to both of their names. When they separated, he never paid her father and he put the title in HER name alone. She claimed on the petition that they had no property or vehicles. Although, my boyfriend isn't contesting the property, they actually did purchase that together while they were married even though it had a lost title.
She is currently on welfare and is receiving medicaid for herself, her unborn child, and their child they share (he has insurance through his father which doesn't cover their daughter since he doesn't have custody of her). She is unemployed, doesn't have any type of education other than a GED, and solely relies on her parents, or her boyfriend for support.
What I'm getting at is, why would the DA file a letter of contest? Could it be for any of the false statements she made on the original petition? What does it mean and how could it effect their case? They both want this to be settled and over in the 60 days after she filed, will this delay the case? What should he expect?
