Married in another state or country? You may still be able to file for divorce in Texas.

Where you got married does not usually determine where you can file for divorce. Instead, Texas residency requirements generally determine whether a Texas court can hear your case.

If you or your spouse recently moved to Texas, were married outside the state, or were married internationally, there may be additional considerations involving jurisdiction, marriage recognition, property, and other issues.

Our latest blog explains what you need to know about filing for divorce in Texas when your marriage took place elsewhere.
