divorce and mental issues in Texas

03/21/10 10:58 AM

My spouse is in jail on agg assalut with intent on the next door neighbor.
She brandished a knife with a 7 in blade and chased him around his car on his driveway.
She was found unable to participate in her defense and sent to a state hospital. She was restored to competency, pleaded guilty to felony assault with a weapon and given 5 years supervised release. Once out of jail she promptly violated and was returned to jail.
This was June 2009. She was reevaluated and found competent by the state's psychologists.
I have not been allowed to proceed. I have the decree drawn up, the QDRO for division of the IRA and my pension.
I paid for Ad Litum as ordered. Is there legal precedent to allow the judge to deny the dissolution and force me to stayed married? Can I be forced to stay married in Texas because she had/has mental issues? What about when one spouse becomes demented, has Alzheimers, stroke, or is left brain dead after a major car accident?
If so, for how long? What happens when she is released in 3 or 4 years? Can I still be denyed divorce?
There are no minor children, I accepted all of the bills including her debts. I have 24 years on active duty and currently an 0-4, with all that is going on I have neglectd my career nad will never make my 0-5. Can anyone, please help me to find a lawyer that can hadle this matter?
Anyone at all, I throw myself at the mercy of this forum.
