The Texas Family Law Foundation has gone to the Legislature with its battle against pro se divorce forms. Sen. José Rodríguez, D-El Paso, filed a bill March 6 that would impact forms the Texas Supreme Court promulgated after intense debate, and any future forms the court creates for self-represented litigants.
Family law attorneys widely opposed the forms. The bill addresses some of their concerns regarding how people can use the forms and how the forms instruct courts to divide retirement benefits, says Texas Family Law Foundation lobbyist and Austin solo Steve Bresnen. The foundation advocated for the bill, he says.
