What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I live in Pennsylvania with my son, have all his life. My stbx moved to TX over two years ago with the intent of us moving there, but he met someone else...yadda yadda.
He filed for divorce in TX - now I know that TX doesn't hold jurisdiction because our son lives in PA, and he isn't asking for custody of him, he hasn't even asked to see him. So I'm filing a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, and filing here in PA.
My questions are as follows:
Do I have to also include an order of Dismissal for the judge to sign, or does the court handle that themselves?
Should I also include an affidavit stating the fact that my son lives with me in PA and has never resided (or for that matter visited) TX.
Can someone double check for me the exact statute I would cite regarding the jurisdiction issue? I think it is 155.201 - but I'm not completely sure.
Thank you for your time!
