Where do I file for divorce in Texas?
Divorces are typically held at the petitioner’s county courthouse.
Texas, like all other states, has residency requirements that parties
must meet before they can file for divorce. Texas requires that the petitioner
live in the state for six months and in the county for 90 days before filing.
If the parties have separated and lived in different counties for more
than 90 days, then the divorce can be filed in either spouse’s county
of residence. If neither party meets the residency requirements, then
the parties may have to wait to file until they establish residency in
a Texas county.
