What is the name of your state? Ohio

I currently live in OH. I want to get a divorce, but I'm being forced to move in a month and realize that most state require an alloted time of residency before being allowed to file. I want to know if I file for divorce in OH and then shortly thereafter move to TX, will that affect the paperwork? Will it still be able to process in OH?

The first question asked in a divorce court:
Did you leave in the state of Ohio for the six months IMMEDIATELY preceding the filing of the complaint?
The second question: did you live in the County of _____________ for 90 days immediately preceding the filing of the complaint.

So you need to file while you still living in Ohio. Can you get all the paperwork together that quickly?

So if I move immediately after filing it won't matter? Will the paperwork finalize in OH if I'm living in TX when the court gets to it as long as I was in OH before the paperwork was filed?

As long as you lived in Ohio before the paperwork was filed and up until the day of filing of the paperwork AND return for all necessary hearings.
