divorce lawyer Andrew LaufersQuestion:

I am moving to another state and would like that state's divorce laws to apply to my case once I establish residency.

My divorce case is final in the state I currently live in, but when I'm settled in my new state can I transfer jurisdiction to that state?

divorce jurisdictionQuestion:

My wife and I are currently separated and live in separate states, though our child lives with me. I do not yet meet the residency requirements to file for divorce in my state, but my wife does meet the residency requirements in her state.

She says that once she files for divorce in her state that she will get primary custody, and I will have to send our child to live with her.

My question is does my wife's home state have jurisdiction over my child and I so I would be forced to send my child to live with my wife once she files for divorce?

divorce laws by stateBy Matt Allen

If you live in New Hampshire and want a quickie divorce, you're in luck. But if you live just over the state line in Vermont, then settle in for a long, drawn-out case.

That's how varied divorce laws are in the U.S. as these two border states rank as the easiest and hardest states, respectively, to get a divorce, according to a report from Bloomberg Rankings.

In New Hampshire there is no minimum processing time or residency requirement, but in Vermont a divorce will take a minimum of 15 months.

divorce decreeQuestion:

I need a bit of clarification on the domicile requirement for filing a divorce. Where I am from (Texas), I understand that at least one person must be domiciled in Texas for the preceding 6-month period and they have to be a resident of the county for the preceding 90-day period.

Does the 6-month period have to be consecutive? By this I mean, would it be possible for a person visiting the U.S. on a tourist visa to legally file for divorce in the U.S.?

Mens divorce lawyerQuestion:

I have lived in Texas for the past 20 years but recently had to leave the state for a 10-month period. I returned last month, but I would like to know if my time out of state means I don't meet the residency requirement to file for divorce in Texas?

I believe you have to be a resident of the state for 6 months to file for divorce. Do my 20 years of living in the state county or will I have to start over the 6-month period from the time I returned from out of state?
