I have been involved with a man for the last 3 1/2 years. He has been going through a divore for the last 4. We lived in AZ and moved to TX. The court in AZ allowed his wifes motion to enjoin me in the divorce as long as she filed and/or served whatever is necessary. I was legally a resident of TX when the AZ court made its ruling, I have not received any notice from the court, I have no "real" property in AZ, I have not been served with anything from TX or AZ, she has sent me papers for discovery, etc. but I don't think it's legal if she hasn't gone through the TX courts to enjoin me. Am I correct?

My response:

To enjoin you from what ? To "enjoin" someone (also known as an "Injunction") means to stop someone from doing or not doing something.

I have a suspicion that you don't mean "enjoin". I think you merely mean "join" or "joined" in the lawsuit as an "indispensable party" defendant.

If you have not received any Summons and Complaint in the matter, then you must make a Motion to the court to strike the discovery documents. However, prior to that, you might want to call opposing counsel and have him fax you a copy of the Proof of Service on any papers that should have been served on you prior to the "discovery".
