Question on Divorce..Ohio...Texas.

So here is some information on a question asked on currently living in Ohio, but moving back to Texas, is it easier to get divorce in Texas or Ohio.  No matter where you get divorce there are issues.  One of the questions I like to ask is, does your spouse currently know that you are going to separate and move to Texas without him knowing and get a divorce, first off this could be a very bad move.  I also like to tell people to go ahead and start researching divorce lawyers in their area and divorce in the state that they are now in.  Most states have a time limit on how long you must live in the state before filing for divorce, it is never good to move out of state and now be fighting back and forth state to state....and in some cases if you are not moving for a job or family to live with to get back on your feet, a spouse can have you return to the state that you resided in before the divorce.  Both Texas and Ohio run the same, you must live in each state 6 months before filing for divorce.  Ohio you can state in the divorce the reasons why the marriage did not make it, and if both spouses are for the divorce things can go smoother in Ohio, where Texas is completely insupportable, and stated that way in the divorce papers, if you have been abused or other extreme cases, then a separate suit has to go on.  My answer to you is do not make in sudden changes, research your divorce lawyers and share all your information with your divorce lawyer and divorce within the state you are in now, it will make the process a little easier and also state to your divorce lawyer that you are wanting to move back to Texas, now this may change child support also, remember child support is based on both parents incomes, and you may have to split cost of the child's visitations with its father, so make sure the move is just not to get away from a spouse, make sure it is where you want to be and live.

I think it is also important to not spring a divorce on anyone, I think people should sit back and think about how they would feel.  If there is no major abuse and you are not scared of your spouse, at least try to sit down and talk.  Moving out of state and taking a child and then springing a divorce could get very nasty.  You can always find a friend to reside with until the divorce is over.  If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.  Questions are how you get things answered, and make sure you are making the right decisions.
