Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Relocating

My children and I are residing in substandard living conditions. No water, heat, etc. I plan to relocate to New Mexico to be near family who will help us. My husband and I aren't on good terms and I plan to divorce him in the future, but need to relocate NOW! What problems could this pose especially if he disagrees with my decision to move?

Thank You!

Re: Relocating

The biggest problem he could cause would be to file for divorce on you here in TX and possibly seek a TRO to prevent you from taking his children out of state. That takes some money and he apparently hasn't been taking care of you or the children, so I don't know where is money is going. You could file for divorce in NM as soon as you get there. Most states have residency requirements for granting a divorce (possibly 6 months). I don't know what NM says. You could contact a women's support group in NM to assist you. Good Luck.
