Case #26-1215525

  • Legal Area

    Divorce Separation Annulment

  • County

    Smith County

Woman in her mid-60s needs assistance with a simple divorce. Client believes that spouse will sign a waiver because "he knows the marriage is over", but it is not certain due to his disagreement with the divorce. The divorce can be filed in two different counties due to the parties' current residence - Jasper County (client) or Smith County (spouse). If the matter is filed in Smith County, which is recommended, there is a strong likelihood that the matter can handled remotely as the courts have approved virtual hearings for pro bono attorneys, if a hearing is needed. Additionally, as client hopes that spouse will be cooperative and will sign an agreed decree, there is a possibility that a hearing will not be required and the matter can completed via submission. There are no children of the marriage and none are expected. There is no real community property other than personal property including two vehicles and banking accounts. The client wants to keep the property in their respecitive possession. There is separate real property that belongs to her spouse, which he received via an inheritance during their marriage. Again, client is not seeking any property from her spouse, and she will waive any claim to reimbursement related to the separate property.
