Thinking About Filing for Divorce in Texas?
Before you file for divorce in Texas, it’s important to make sure you meet the state’s residency requirements. These rules determine whether the Texas courts have the authority to hear your case and finalize your divorce.
To file for divorce in Texas, either you or your spouse must have:
-
Lived in the State of Texas for at least six months, and
-
Lived in the county where you plan to file for at least 90 days.
If you don’t meet these requirements yet, you may need to wait until residency is established before filing. Taking this step first can help avoid delays and ensure your case starts off right.
