Texas Divorce Process Timeline
Understanding the Divorce Process in Texas
To file a divorce, Texas law requires that either the husband or wife must have lived in Texas for the prior 6 months and lived in the county where the divorce will be filed for 90 days.
If the residency provisions are not met, but the marriage took place in Texas, a divorce may still be possible.
After being served with a Texas petition for divorce, Texas law provides that a party has until the “Monday next following the expiration of twenty days following service of process” to file their answer to the divorce petition.
