My husband and I don't leave toghether for over 7 years.--name removed--got married in Tx and started a divorce under domestic violence in Tx that later on was stopped. This was back in 2001.

I moved to Tn were I reside since then.

I am trying to get divorce now Tn but my husband states he has no juridiction in Tn and that this should be file in Tx.

--name removed--have one son and lives with me.

Where can I find information about what are the requirements to qualify for Tn juridiction ?

What can I do?

Re: divorce state juridiction

Once you have been in Tennessee for six months you can pursue your divorce here instead of in TX, whether your husband has ever been in Tennessee or not.
