Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
divorce residency requirements
My husband and I moved to texas 2 months ago from Minnesota. He filed for divorce in Texas and was told that we could get the divorce under minnesota laws without going back to minnesota. Is that possible? I am all for the divorce by the way.

Re: divorce residency requirements
If the divorce was filed in Texas, Texas law will apply. However, you can not yet file in Texas as you have not resided her for 6 months. You will need to pursue your divorce in Minnesota.
