Divorce in Texas?

Business 2 views 4 answers
I was divorced about 6 months ago in Texas. My EX has filed an appeal so the Divorce Decree has not been enforced so far. When my divorce was finalized my attorney refused to help me enforce the decree so we agreed (and both signed) for him to withdraw as my attorney. I now have another attorney who is suppose to be working my case but after almost two months of no communication whatsoever he now tells me that the old attorney has filed a TRO to prevent him from working my case. Is this even possible? If so, it would have been nice to be made aware of the situation... a hearing was held in late June but the attorney advised me not to attend ... but he didn't attend either and made no arrangements with the court! Thanks in advance for any input on this situation!

I've never heard of one lawyer filing a TRO to prevent another from working on the case. Be skeptical. I hate to say it, but I think you need a consultation with a third lawyer who will review everything on the District Clerk's site to figure out what is going on in your case.

I agree with the attorney what you have been told does not make a lot of sense. You might want to get another consultation from another attorney who can take a look at the paperwork / case filings and give you and idea on what is going on.

You need to get an attorney to review your Court file. Who is handling your appeal? I suspect that TRO is not the right word. Could your attorney have said that the ex posted a bond so that you could not enforce the Decree while the appeal was pending? I have no clue how to make sense you and your attorney not attending a hearing...
