rags Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Hello, I am looking for some help. I moved to Texas about 7 months ago from NJ. So I am ready to file for divorce - my STBX lives in NJ - we own a house there as well. So my question is, would it be better to file in Texas or NJ? I am not sure if I can do it from Texas since we still own the house, but then again, NJ has a requirement that I have to live there for 12 months - something I don't qualify for since I have been living in Texas for the past 7 months. I am just trying to see if someone can assist on what I should do. I really want to file and get this process started - the sooner it starts, the sooner it ends. Thank you all.
