Does anyone here know if there would be any problem in "coaching" my wife to file pro-se "against" me with the object of my ignoring all official communication from her and from the court, thereby obtaining a "no-fault" default divorce?
This would result in both parties retaining whatever they presently have by title or possession, no attorneys being involved, and NO NECESSITY FOR ME TO LIST MY ASSETS ANYWHERE. My state is Texas.

Well, if you don't mind sitting in jail for contempt of court or the courts believing her if she tells them you are a millionare and ordering alimony and asset division based on her testimony alone (kind of hard for you to say otherwise if you ignore the process), then go ahead tell her to file. And then you ignore the legal process.
In the end, you will end up paying more than if you just stopped your nonsense, filed for divorce and negotiated a settlement.
BTW, the courts could order the divorce based on abandonment. And you would have proven that by, well, following through with your plan to ignore the whole process.

I don't know what state you are in or where you get these ideas, but that's not the way it works in Texas.
The scenario I was describing is based upon her willing cooperation and trust of me. I believe that this will work, and that it is the only way to accomplish a divorce while keeping greedy lawyers out of the entire process, while protecting our privacy.
If I am overlooking something I would like to know SPECIFICALLY what it is.

Yes, you are not going to get away with this type of manipulation.
Texas is in the United States of America. What you are planning on doing is called FRAUD.
It doesn't matter what state you are in. That's against the law.
I sincerely hope your wife talks to someone who will open her eyes to what will actually happen and realize just how abusive you have been.
BTW, while the lawyers may be greedy. You are just as greedy.

I don't think what you are proposing is illegal, but if your ex asks for discovery, you ignore it, and she said you have a couple oil derricks going, what do you think the judge is going to do if you ignore everything, and don't show up?

===========================================================
To ask for discovery, she would have to have a lawyer and she doesn't have the money to hire one, does not qualify for legal aid because there is no abuse involved, and no one will lend her any money because she has no credit. The state BAR will not authorize Pro Bono legal work for family law, and it is against the rules for a third party to finance a divorce, by giving her the funds, in Texas. Oh, yes, it is also illegal to take contingency fees for family law work here.
She understands all this, and will be willing to totally cooperate with me in this way, even without my having to get too explicit about the possible consequences to her if she doesn't.

If I were her, I would just sign and get as far away from you as possible.
"She understands all this, and will be willing to totally cooperate with me in this way, even without my having to get too explicit about the possible consequences to her if she doesn't."
You cant more of a threat than that right there. If anything ever "happens" to her, I hope they find all your crap on here.

>>>>>>>>>>> Yes , it can be done . A default divorce would be granted 60 days after legal service . The court that grants the divorce would retain jurisdiction over any post-marital litigation .
This would result in both parties retaining whatever they presently have by title or possession, no attorneys being involved, and NO NECESSITY FOR ME TO LIST MY ASSETS ANYWHERE. My state is Texas.

I don't know who would lend her any money. If there is such a person I would like to borrow some from him myself.
I do not believe that anyone can find a case where someone filed a divorce on no-fault grounds, merely claiming that she can "no longer stand to look at him", or other nonsense to that effect, and a court has ordered the other party to pay the legal fees of the party filing. If there is I would sure like to hear about it. Anyway, to get to the point of being able to ask for this in the first place, she would have to have a liewyer, and as I explained, they either will not or cannot work free for her!
