What is the name of your state? Texas
I am currently involved in a lawsuit with my ex-husband for several things. One, I am asking for a modification of child support.
Two, when we were divorced in May 2000, he was ordered to pay all of the credit cards (debts) but one. I took my one card and he took the rest. The particular card that is now in question was one to Partner's First with a balance of nearly $8000. He paid the payment until Sept 2002 and then when I took him to court because of non payment of child support (he was behind 3 months), he stopped paying the credit card. Of course, the credit card company came after me. During our proceedings in 2003 (when I finally got to court) the judge did tell him that he was responsible for the debt even though I brought him back to court. I didn't have that as part of my "motions" - but it is something my attorney brought up in court (I have a transcript of the court hearing).
He still did not pay. I have continued to pay the price by having my credit ruined and I have never been able to afford the attorney fees to take him back to court on this. Now, I am having to go to court because I tried to go through the Attorney General's Office for a modification of child support and he refused the "mediation" there. When I hired an attorney, I had them add in the papers to the court that we wanted him to pay the debt he originally had from our divorce.
Now, I just received a letter from the courts that is a "Dismissal Hearing Notice" and it says that "The court will dismiss the pending action for want of prosecution per rule 165A of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure unless there is good cause to maintain the case on the docket". I haven't been able to get a hold of my attorney and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.What is the name of your state?
