The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

Assuming that your husband continues to reside in CA, probably not, unless your husband agrees to a change of jurisdiction and/or dismisses his CA case, thus allowing you to file in TX.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry, and good luck with your case.

Reply: two state divorce

If your husband lived in Californhia for six months before filing, and if you have already been served with the California divorce papers, it is probably too late to haver it transfderred from California to Texas. If you have not been served yet, you may be able to file in Texas and get him served first.

Good luck to you!

Re: two state divorce

You will only be able to file here in TExas if you have been a resident for the past 6 months. Question will be if you gave up your residence when you moved to CA. Most likely, you are stuck in CA.
