Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I file for divorce?
Assuming that you and your spouse have lived in Texas for at least 6 months, you must file for divorce in the County where you have resided for the three months prior to filing for divorce.
Should I request a temporary Restraining order (TRO)?
In short, it depends on your situation. In certain circumstances, it makes sense to file a TRO for the sake of protecting yourself. Some examples of this might be:
If you believe that your spouse is likely to begin selling shared assets or investments in an attempt to keep the money for themselves
Terminating, limiting, or charging credit cards in your name
If your spouse has threatened violence
Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing bodily injury to you
You should always consult with an attorney when deciding whether or not to file a TRO.
Can I get divorced in Texas if my spouse lives out of state?
Yes, you can still get divorced so long as you are a Texas resident at the time the divorce is filed. There are certain exceptions to this general rule, so make sure to consult an attorney right away.
