Living in Pleasant Hill, CA as of 4/17/01 (previously NY resident)
Separated from Husband since 1993 and has now filed a petition for divorce in Texas. Contested it on the grounds that he has not been a US resident since 1995 and for not providing settlement to our children who are now over the age of 18. I also petition the court to change reason to dissolve marriage as Pet was previously married to another woman in the Phil (a copy of marriage contract was provided as evidence. I have no professional representation. Just sent a long narrative affidavit to Court with exhibits and Petitioner responded by filing a Motion to Strike as it Petitioner alleges hearsay and irrelevant. Pre-trial hearing is set for Apr 24/01 at Civil Court Building in Ft Worth, Texas. And note that I have no professional representation.
I am receiving unemployment benefits only. Therefore, I am unable to appear in court for financial and logistic reason.
Why is hearing set in a Civil Court instead of Family Court? What would happen to me if I do not attend other than being in default for non-appearance. And why would the evidence I sent be considered hearsay when I sent a proof. I am advising the court again that I cannot attend and will leave my fate in the court's jurisdiction. Please advise asap. Thanks
