Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

You have to be a domiciliary of Texas for the past 6 months and a resident of the county in which you want to file for the past 90 days. If you always maintained the subjective intent to return to Texas, kept a TX driver's license, etc., then you satisfy the domiciliary requirement.

Since you are in Collin County, I would go ahead and file for divorce. If he later challenges the venue of Collin County based on the 90-day requirement, you can always refile. But filing in Collin County now gives you a basis to seek abatement of any divorce proceedings he might file in Hawaii.

Divorcing someone in the military, with children, in a remote state can be very complicated and I would encourage you to contact a local family law attorney to help you through this. I am very familiar with the courts in Collin County so I can assure you that they are fair, but they will hold you to the same standards whether you have an attorney or not.

Good luck!!
