If a couple gets married in one state does state law where they live apply in the divorce?

Answered by attorney Terry Anne Buchanan (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Terry A. Buchanan
For California law to apply, a party must be a resident of the state for 6 months and the applicable county for 3 months prior to filing a divorce. Then California law would apply.

How to divorce quickly-Texas resident

Renea Overstreet
Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
Most jurisdictions require a certain time of residency or domicile in order to have the authority to grant your divorce. In Texas, you have to live here for 6 months and be a domiciliary of the country where you file for 90 days in order to file in the county where you live. I don't know what kind of laws they have in Mexico, but most places have some type of requirement that you live there in order for them to have authority to get a divorce there. You may want to consult with an attorney licensed in Mexico to find out their laws on the topic.

Can I keep my child from seeing my husbands new girlfriend until our divorce is final?

Renea Overstreet
Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
You can make such a request, but it depends on the court whether it will be granted. The standard request is a morality clause that says no overnight paramours when the children are there. That clause can be effective beyond the divorce. You can use his affair to ask for a disproportionate share of property division.
