Married Boyfriend Post a Reply | Views: 7100 | Started By: Nancy | Replies: 2 My boyfriend has been legaly separated for almost 2 years.  He has filed for divorce and told me the court granted the divorce the end of June.  But he has to wait a month for all the paperwork to be finished so we still have to keep our relationship a secret or his ex wife may get angry and make problems.  She has a month to contest the agreed upon division of property.  It's been almost 2 months and he said the lawyers are dragging their feet.  I have never heard of this.  I thought once the court ruled you were divorced it was over?  Anyone ever heard of this?  I trust him but I guess the time it's taking is starting to make me paranoid.  They both resided in Tx. for years.

Nancy, that is not the way it works... at least not in any state that I have even heard. If you want to check up on him... you can use on-line court records. Not every city uses them be most do. Go to MSN.com or any search site and type in the city name (or county) along with the words "on line court records. Most cities with list public court records, which will include if it was filed, when, and the current status of the divorce. Good Luck. Responded: Sunny   Thank you for the tip.  I tried to search online but apparently they don't have them online in our city.  I really appreciate the tip.  It doesn't sound right to me either, at least I know I am not just paranoid, it does sound strange.
