Can I kick my wife out of the house now knowing that my divorce papers will state that?

Answered by attorney Bruce Campbell Zivley (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Bruce C. Zivley, Attorney at Law
Despite what you emotionally feel, and justifiably so, it would be a bad idea to kick her out. Rely on the court to act on your request to have exclusive use and possession of the residence, rather than attempting to usurp the authority of the court. Such is always a better idea. I can see you today if you want to act quicker and are in the Houston area.

1. How do I file for divorce if the spouse lives out of the country and never been to the US?

Answered by attorney James Paul Peterson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of James P. Peterson
File in Texas if you have lived here six months and in that county for 90 days. The Texas court has jurisdiction to grant the divorce and divide the property in Texas.

Can a Trinidadian file for a divorce in Trinidad although I was married in Texas to a permanent resident there?

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
I only practicei in Texas. No matter where you got married, you can file for divorce in Texas if you meet the residence requirement. You have to live in the state for 6 months and you file in the county you've lived in for 90 days. You would have to ask a lawyer in Trinidad whether you can file there. It's likely that any jurisdiction has a residency and domicile requirement.
