Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Question about possible divorce and could involve two states
My son and wife's is rocky. He loves her and doesn't want to loose her. She's been going through post partum depression for close to a year, gave two weeks notice to her employer, she had a good paying job in Texas, and says she wants to go home to Oklahoma and wants my son to go with her. He has a good paying job in Texas also and doesn't want to leave. Could she be trying to establish residency in Okla to get alimony from him since Texas doesn't have alimony. How would this work? He hates the implication of even going and talking to a divorce lawyer about this. HELP????

Theresa -- Great answer! I have to add my 2 cents! Fran
Obviously your son needs to talk to someone that knows the law because he does not understand Texas law.
I'm an attorney and when I have a question in an area of the law I don't handle, I hire an attorney and get their advice. Then I am able to rest easier knowing that I know the current Texas law.
If your son wants to stick his head in the sand and pretend that everything is ok, that is totally his choice.
It is cheaper to do things right the first time then to try to fix it later after everything is complicated and messed up!
For example, my plumber loves do it yourself people -- he claims they keep him in business!!!
Re: Question about possible divorce and could involve two states
I do not know OK law, but Texas has temporary spousal support, and in some cases, spousal support for up to three years after the divorce. Maybe she is sick, and wants to go to OK to try to get well. Your son is a grown man, and will have to weigh his options, and make these decisions.
