Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Reply: Married before divorce was final

You need to file for either annulment or dissolution of marriage. In California, you have grounds for either action.

Good luck to you!

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

The facts that you have provided are not clear enough and/or complete enough to provide a definitive answer to you inquiry; however, I would say that you can file IN CALIFORNIA for your choice of an annulment or a divorce if YOU meet the California residence requirements (6months in state, 3 months in county).

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.
