Re: State where military personnel, who are currently out of the country may fi
It depends. IF you were a resident of Texas, then your time outside the state while serving in the military does not count against you and you are considered a resident of the state and the county in which you lived. (Texas Family Code Section 6.303)
IF you spouse has lived in Texas for at least 6 months, you may file for divorce in the county where he or she resides at the time that the petition is filed. (TFC 6.302)
It all depends on the actual circumstances.
