Case #25-1150283

  • Legal Area

    Divorce Separation Annulment

  • County

    Fort Bend County

Client is his early 40s and reside in Houston, Harris County. The matter is a simple divorce - there is no real community property, and client wishes to keep the personal property currently in his possession. There are children of the marriage; however, there is a prior child custody and support order in place, and client does not wish to modify the order. The order was also issued than three years ago and there has not been a material change for either client nor his spouse. A modification of the existing order is not expected. Client has filed twice for divorce pro se. The second attempt was after attending a Pro Se Divorce Clinic with Lone Star Legal Aid. While LSLA attempted to assist client with the process, he was unable to successfully serve spouse. While client resides in Harris County, his spouse resides in Fort Bend County. The prior child custody and support order are also in Fort Bend County. It is recommended that the divorce be filed in Fort Bend County to ease the process of serving spouse, particularly since there is no real property at issue. Many of the case documents have been drafted. This is an excellent pro bono opportunity for an attorney considering their first family law pro bono matter.
