If notice to appear was served properly and she fails to show for the hearing w/out a reasonable excuse, then judgment can be entered so long as no aspect of the divorce is being contended.

Not if she legally changed her name back to her maiden. And by legally I mean she went to her local Social Security office and filed for a new SS card showing her divorce decree and on her social security card it has her maiden name.She may not have done it legally maybe she just started going by her maiden name but was legally listed by her married name.

Yes but after a certain length of time(I think its different for all states)he can get a divorce without your consent.

People in general like to think "it wont happen to us". When they realise it can and does they also realise that it can happen to anyone, to them. They don't want to be anyone so they have to label it as someones fault or someones failure. Ther are numerous reasons that marriages fail and end up in the divorce courts. You know here in Australia you cant even contest a divorce. Our law states that if one person no longer wishes to remain in a marriage the law cannot make them.Funny because it takes two to agree to marry but one to divorce.The only pre requisite is that you must have been separated 12 months. There is no mandatory councelling and divorce here is no fault divorce. The law, the judges, the councellors all think they know whats right for you, whats best for you etc. Its the saddest and most confronting thing to go through and endure and rebuilding is hard. You are sometimes labelled. But you know its not always a failure. Sometimes its a life line to something new and better. I, in my experience have come to see that those that see divorce as a failure have never gone through it themselves or known anyone closely that has, nor have they felt the devestation of divorce. If you feel that its your failure dont. Society and religion put so much pressure on us as a collective community to make everything succeed. Sometimes you just cant. We should always try, if there is still love there. As the previous answerer said, anything worthy is worth fighting for and working on. But you also have to recognise that for some, the end of the road does come. Its not worth losing your "self", ie your being. I guess only those who see it as an absolute failure can really answer this for you.\n\n\n'\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n'

You draft a motion for finding of contempt, which is usually in the form of a motion for an order to show cause why the other party should not be held in contempt.  This motion goes to the court who originally issued the order for payment of alimony, which is usually the same court that issued the final divorce decree, of which the alimony is most often a part.\n\nThen the court will order and schedule a hearing, the other party has an opportunity to be heard, and an order will be issued if justified.\n\nIf the other party doesn't show, having been properly served with the motion to show cause/order for hearing, then you'll win by default, and the court will issue a contempt order.\n\nThis is sufficiently complex that it is usually best to have an attorney do the drafting and filing.

It would not be advisable to file for divorce yourself.  If there are no children or assets to battle over, you can hire an attorney to file the petition in family court for you at very little cost.  In Texas, divorces can be contested, but in most cases, are not denied.  The complications begin when there are assets to dive and custody issues.  If these issues exist, and your spouse is agreeable, you can contact an attorney to draft a decree and file it in family court.  Your spouse can sign a waiver of appearence and your divorce can be finalizad in 45-60 days.\n\nGood luck to you and sorry to hear things aren't working.\n\nTake care.

Depending on the State. He may not need you there to file for divorce. But, he will need your signature to finalize everything. Check at your town hall or local courthouse.

It depends on the circumstances of the particular case.  What is important is to clarify the reasons that the marriage should be deemed and declared null, did not happen.

No. You get divorced wherever you live now and, if you and your spouse are in different states, you can usually file where your spouse is or where you are. It makes absolutely NO DIFFERENCE in how many states you got married (as long as it's to the same spouse, LOL). You're married.

She can sue you for whatever she wants and whenever she wants....your issue is with the judgements made against you...not her lawsuit.  Divorce law varies by state....and I don't know where you are...but the general guide is that every 4 years of marriage equates to a year of support.  The support is based on an income grid, and considers other factors like disabilities, education, etc.  If you keep losing in court my advice would be getting an attorney, or a better one, before next hearing.

Talk to your divorce attorney.  It is a simple matter of filing the paperwork.

Yes, as long as you are seperated. You usually have to go in front of a judge.

Yes, the night we separated.  My ex-wife stabbed me with a knife and was arrested.  I left and filed for divorce the next day.  Our marriage was horrible.

only if you can get the previous marriage annulled, which means the church declares it never happened. otherwise no, because they don't consider you catholic anymore if you got divorced.

No, she will still get child support.   I just got married and have two step-sons now.   The father is still required to pay his child support.
