Texas Divorce Filing Rules
Summary
For a divorce to be filed in Texas, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for six months. If your ex-spouse has never lived in Texas, she likely cannot file there. However, since you have been a resident for more than six months, she could potentially file for divorce in Texas. Given that your divorce has already been finalized in Pakistan, generally, theres no need for a second divorce in Texas. Ensure the Pakistani divorce is recognized in the US by consulting a Texas lawyer familiar with international divorce recognition.Full Conversation
