Re: Laws on how long a person can fight off a divorce

Not sure what you mean by fighting off the divorce. However, if you file for a divorce in Texas, there are a few requirements you need to meet. You have to live in Texas for a specified time and also live in the county where you are filing for a specified length of time.

The other side may oppose the divorce, but usually that is temporary as they may argue for reasonable time to resolve the differences.

Have you spoken with a family law attorney in your area?
