What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I was essentially in a Common-Law marrige in Colorado and have 2 children with this man. In May of 2008, I moved with the children to Texas and have now been living here for over a year. Their father willingly allowed me to move. We did file joint tax returns while living in Colorado, but have filed single for the last 2 years. I am guessing that I still need to a divorce, but I am not sure where I need to file. We have never lived together in the state of Texas. Do I file in Texas or Colorado?
