You can obtain a divorce from your spouse in Texas because you have lived in Texas more than six months. It is not a problem that your spouse lives in another county.  To start the proceess, you need to file an original petition for divorce and then it must be determined how to give him notice of the divorce. You must exercise "due diligence" in locating a potential address for him. If you cannot find an address, then you can to serve him by "citation by publication" which means that you are putting a notice in a local newspaper where he lives to notify him of the divorce. Please contact me if you have additional questions.

WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MY EX HUSBANDS TOTAL VESTED RETIREMENT AMOUNT

Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
Handling a QDRO without an attorney is a risky business, but I do understand your frustration. You may want to hire an attorney to complete the QDRO and the processing of it through the court and then the retirement plan. My initial question is why do you need his most recent statment?  You may use a percentage in the QDRO if that is what it states in your decree.  You do not need to state the current value of the account in most QDROs.  The company will know the value of the account as of the date of divorce, which is when most divorce decrees and QDROs include as the valuation date for dividing the QDRO. Assuming you have a form for the QDRO and have it completed, then you need to file a Motion with the court to enter a post-divorce order to divide the retirment.  You will need to have your ex-husband served with the Motion and proposed QDRO.  Altenatively, if he will cooperate, you may present him with a Waiver of Service for the Motion and have him sign that.   His lawyer will need to sign the QDRO before you present it to the court to sign.

If he will not move out voluntarily, then you may file for divorce and get temporary orders requiring him to move out and pay child support and other bills. Whether you complete the divorce or not would be up to you or him.
