If my wife lives in one state and I live in another state and we were married in a different state, how would we be able to get a divorce?

Vanessa J. Gorden
Answered by attorney Vanessa J. Gorden

Easy. For most states, you can file for divorce in the state where you reside (as can she), once you have lived there long enough to meet their legal requirements. While you generally need to list the place of marriage, if no one lives there anymore, that state has no jurisdiction, as divorce jurisdiction is based on your current residency. Where this gets tricky is if you own real property together or need to have child support or spousal support set.the state where divorce is filed/granted would need to have personal jurisdiction over the paying party. If these situations might apply to you, contact an attorney to learn your best strategy. Best wishes!

Will separate 401k increase community property?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
Unless you and your spouse executed a premarital agreement stating otherwise, all income earned during the marriage is presumed to be community property in Texas unless you have evidence suggesting that it was a gift, inheritance, or otherwise your separate property. So, yes the funds in your 401k would likely be considered community property subject to division in a divorce.
