smartest way to begin the process. I

Re: legal advice for a mom of three
Depends on how long you have been in Texas. If you have been here less than six months, you may want to get back to CA fast and file for divorce there if CA laws alloss it. Consult an attorney there. If here more than six months, you will need to file here. You can ask the court to allow you to leave. You will have to overcome the presumption that domicile restrictions are preferred in most courts here in Texas. It can be done but is usually a battle.
