Divorce And Property Division

Summary

In Texas, an informal marriage is treated like a formal marriage when seeking a divorce. You need to contact a lawyer, file a petition for divorce, serve your spouse, wait for their response, and attend court proceedings. Bigamy is illegal, and your husband could face criminal charges if he was still married to another person when he married you. Property acquired during the marriage is usually shared equally, and the court can consider the needs of the child in property division. If your husband promised to pay for your masters degree and did not, you may be entitled to spousal support. Consult a lawyer for specific advice.

Hello ****,
In many jurisdictions, including Angola and Texas, bigamy (being married to two people at the same time) is considered illegal. If your husband was still legally married to another person when he married you, he could potentially face criminal charges. You should consult with a lawyer for specific advice.
