I got married in the state of Texas but I moved to the state of Ohio can I file for divorce in the state of Texas or Ohio?

Cathy Rose Cook
Answered by attorney Cathy Rose Cook (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Cathy R. Cook, Attorney at Law
If you and your husband have lived together in Ohio, you can file for divorce after living here 6 months. If your husband does not, or has not, lived in Ohio with you, Ohio does not have jurisdiction over him. What that means is that you can file, but if he challenges jurisdiction, you cannot proceed. If he just doesn't respond, you can complete the divorce, but your husband could later argue the divorce is void for lack of jurisdiction. As for filing in Texas, if you don't live there, you probably cannot file there, but you would have to consult a Texas lawyer about that.

My wife filed divorce , and then sold the house, can I get half the money/

Charles Sanders
Answered by attorney Charles Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Rose Sanders Law Firm
In Texas, any property acquired during the marriage is deemed community property.  During a divorce, a court applies a "just and right" division of the property.  This doesnt mean 50/50, the court can split the community property 60/40, 70/30. The court applies factors in making this "just and right" division.  If your wife filed for divorce, then sold the house while the divorce is pending, you can claim that she commited "fraud on the estate" and seek to be reinbursed for your community share of the family home.
