You just have to be a resident of Texas for six months, and a resident of the county in which you file for three months.

PS: Texas has no real alimony (just limited maintenance for three years in some circumstances), so if you are a woman, married thirty years who raised six children and never/seldom worked outside the home, move to California.
There, you can file for a marriage separation immediately (with temp spousal support) - no residency requirement. After six months, change the filing to a divorce & ask for alimony.
After the divorce is final, move to Texas.

If she wants to reside in Texas, she should accept the family laws of Texas and not try to get around these reasonable family laws to steal money that she doesn't deserve!!!PS: Texas has no real alimony (just limited maintenance for three years in some circumstances), so if you are a woman, married thirty years who raised six children and never/seldom worked outside the home, move to California.
Raising six children has nothing to do with an alimony award. Married thirty years and sitting on her lazy ass for those thirty years is a factor albeit a stupid assinine factor!!

Why would you even go there, may I ask? The OP did not provide any details of the marriage or decision to divorce and certainly did not ask about alimony?PS: Texas has no real alimony (just limited maintenance for three years in some circumstances), so if you are a woman, married thirty years who raised six children and never/seldom worked outside the home, move to California.

I'm lost as to why you would have chosen to respond in this manner - was there another post that I missed somewhere?
If anything, it shows the need for NATIONAL family laws that every state will be forced to abide by.
