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?

You can petition for dissolution of your marriage in the state where either one of you are a legal resident. Good luck

I live in Texas, and my wife attempted to serve me divorce papers Friday, two days ago. She demands that I vacate our home immediately.

You do not have to move out of the house.  If there is a hearing set for Thursday and you are served on Monday, then you should appear at the hearing and request a continuance in order to find an attorney.  If your wife has requested exclusive use of the house, that issue will be decided at a hearing for temporary orders.  I would encourage you to consult an attorney and file a counter petition in which you also request exclusive use of the residence and custody of the children if that is your desire.  If you do not feel safe in the house, then stay elsewhere temporarily. If you feel your children are not safe then take them out of the house temporarily as well. When you are served, please review the Temporary Restraining Order carefully. It will not order you to leave the house because that cannot be done without a hearing unless your wife was able to convince the court that you commmited family violence.  You are allowed to communicate with your wife but not in a harrassing manner.  You are allowed to have your children in your possession.  There are many things that are standard and stated in the restraining order that you will not be able to do.  Be aware of them and follow the rules. If at the hearing the court decides that your wife should have the exclusive temporary use of the house, you will be given time to find a place to live and move out.

My husband and I are both military and are stationed in Korea. I want a divorce ASAP and I’m pretty sure he is on board as well. What do I need to do?

Answered by attorney Stephanie Elizabeth Emanuel (Unclaimed Profile)

Because you are both deployed and active duty, its virtually complicated to get a divorce easily because you share benefits. You will need to be able to be off duty and back in your state or any county you chose to live in and qualify under the jursidiction residency requirement. Since there is a child involved, custody arrangement is also needed to be discussed. If you can discuss with your spouse matters such as millitary benefits and child custody issues, you can than proceed to an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce will cost you anywhere from $750 to $1,500 compared to a contested divorce with military background will run you anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000. Feel free to contact my office and speak with a case manager at 877-866-8665 or email help@smsattorneys.com.
