Re: getting a divorce transferred to another county

If he lived in that county on the date the divorce was filed, that county has jurisdiction.

If no one lived in the county where he filed, then you must immediately consent that county's jurisdiction.

I hope this is helpful. If you don't have an attorney, you need one immediately!

Happy New Year!

Re: getting a divorce transferred to another county

There are specific rules concerning the transfer of cases. You did not mention whether the divorce was currently pending or whether this is a post divorce action. I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law, practicing in the general Houston area. Please contact me directly to discuss your issues further.
