Based on what you have written, there are specific procedures required for obtaining a divorce when the parties are outside the jursidiction of Texas. You should seek the assistance of a law firm to ensure that your rights and interests are protected. If my law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]) to arrange for an initial consultation.

I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law here in Houston. I can assist you with this very simple process. Assuming that your spouse would agreeably sign the paperwork which will be emailed to them, it is not an expensive or time consuming matter. The divorce could be granted on the 61st day following the filing of an Original Petition for Divorce. Contact me if you want to discuss the matter further.
