- Q. I have no clue where my spouse is. I’m trying to terminate parental rights and get a divorce.
- A: In Texas, if you are unable to locate your spouse, you can file for a divorce by publication. This involves legally notifying your spouse of the divorce proceedings through a notice published in a newspaper in the area where they were last known to reside. This method is used when all other attempts to locate the spouse have failed.
For the termination of parental rights, Texas law requires specific grounds to be established, such as abandonment, neglect, abuse, or continuous failure to provide support. Given the circumstances you described, including the history of abuse and lack of involvement in your child's life, these might be relevant factors in your case.
