Adkin, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You should first confirm whether or not your divorce was ever finalized. If it was not, it should not be difficult to complete the action now. You can ask the court to make the divorce effective back to a date prior to your next marriage. It is important for you to have the divorce finalized if there are provisions for child support, alimony, or the division of retirement benefits. If the new wife gets a divorce decree that gives her a portion of her husband's retirement benefits before you get a decree giving you part of his retirement, her order will take precedence of your order and could affect the amount you receive. You should contact an attorney to review the status of the first divorce to see what other issues might arise if your husband next divorce is entered before you can finalize your proceeding, and to determine the effect on your current marriage.

I am unsure whether you have gained residency, based on your inquiry; however, assuming you have - you can file in the county in which you have resided for 90 days (as long as you've been in Texas for 6 mos.) and the adultery issue simply gives argument as to why you should receive more than 50% of the community assets you have acquired during your marriage.  Feel free to contact me with further questions.
