Can I file for a divorce here in Texas since we both have been here 8 months but got married in the state of Georgia?

Zoe Ann Meigs
Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
You may file for divorce in Texas after living in Texas for six months. File in the county where you have lived at least 90 days. I am not sure what you mean about publicizing in the papers, but if you mean having the divorce citation served on him by publication, that is not available in cases where you know where he lives or could easily obtain that information.  You will need to have your husband served with the petition for divorce by a constable or process server.  Then your husband has an opportunity to respond to the suit.

Would I receive spousal support payments based on my history of a stay at home mom and the length of our marriage?

You may be a good candidate for post-divorce spousal maintenance, depending on your prospects and your husband's income. You'll certainly get an award of child support for your 13 year-old. You need a lawyer; please see one.

Why can't I file my car stolen if we are still married?

Unfortunately due to the fact that you are still married, the vehicle you own is considered a part of your marital estate and may be considered community property (depending on where you purchased it). Be sure to contact a knowledgeable family lawyer to ask the Court that you be given exclusive use and possession of the vehicle. If you're filing for divorce on your own, you're going to need some help.
