Legal Aid of Northwest Texas - Wichita Falls

I have filed for divorce against my husband this is the second time I can't afford to pay a lawyer I just need help I'm not sure if I've files the divorce correctly among other things such as I have four children and only three of them live with me. I pay my and my eldest child college education out of pocket. None of the children are his there is no child support nor rights attained for these children by my husband no adoption nothing legal. However I feel he should be on child support for them especially the younger ones that are still in the home and were there with him and they gained that father son dynamic that my children would not ever get from their biological father he willingly took on the role of being father and then willingly chose to leave the every finance on me even our morning and afternoon routine for the children education. It emotionally of course effected my children in and out of school having the only man the last two have known as dad since they were born they are triggered emotionally seeing how they were there when he removed their wifi because it was in his name although I was the one paying the bill so that he could take it to his baby mothers house that I had no idea about let alone a child. I'd asked him ahead of time if there were any children outside of the ones I knew of he knowingly lied and married me under false pretenses so that he could keep her as an option and the baby a secret. They refuse to be DNA tested but has no issue removing him self from my children lives and intentionally showing the little girl off with him and that she calls him dad, My children didn't deserve that. He has filed disputes on payments I mader from his card with my own money causing many of my accounts to become derogatory balances on history and negative credit scores onmy credit report. He takes care of another household on child on income that is supplied by SSI that is based off our marriage but he hasn't lived nor provided my home only theirs with the money that's rightful to help him me and the family we joined by law he's been living with them and providing since May of 2025. He has filed both false reports against me with me both cps and the wfpd officers. He and his baby mother harass me verbally on the phone in text messages. They caused much dedication of my character to crowns of people voluntarily. They tell lies such as I'm prostitue on drugs don't take care of my children I'm a slut I was sleeping with his friends I go out my way to harass them when I only ask about finalizing the divorce and end up disrespected every time such as a day ago they both informed me instead of responding to the courts with a agree plea knowing we both are in agreeance but they informed me that want to drag my character long as they can they want to find every way to collect anything owed to me or can cause me harm in any way possible and he feels entitled to take his time. Here's the thing I've always been the one financially financing our home vacations dinner ECT I don't owe him anything and certainly not be help hostage. They said they want to make sure I lose everything. I just want to be divorced any payments due to my children and I we deserved none of this. They said they not gone stop with these false police reports I"m falling into a depression and so confused. I was nothing but a devoted and loving wife to him I required him to do the proper work to be apart of him family once he got out of prison he felt like he didn't have to refused and has been making my children and our lives absolutely confused and unsecure.
