No idea where to start!!

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I am in Texas, But I just got here 3 days ago- previously was in IL.

That is my problem. I lived in IL almost 4 years while my husband was in prison, he gets out August 14th and I wanta divorce. Now, since I just moved to Texas do I have to wait 6 months to live here before I can? according to Tx law) Or can I file in IL? And if I file in IL, would that require me to go back there? From what I've researched if I understand correctly- only one of the parties has to live in the state of IL to file for a divorce- is that correct?

I'm just making sure what I read is clear to me, this is new to me and I feel completely lost.

Thank you

You would have to live in TX for six months before you could file for divorce there. If you file in IL you will have to go back to IL for court.
