Married in NY, Divorcing in Texas
My friend was married in New York. She and her husband have been seperated for about a year. She has just moved to Texas. How long does she have to live in Texas before she can file for divorce in Texas?

Her place of marriage is not important. In order to get divorced in Texas, she needs to have been a resident for six months. If there are issues with children, she can file a SAPCR before the six month residency requirement.
