Effective June 19, 2015, by ruling of the Texas Supreme Court, same-sex couples married in other states can divorce in Texas. The process is the same as for any other married couple.
The couple would file for divorce where they reside.
If you live as a couple for some period of time, you are common law married. The requirements are that you have: 1. An agreement to be married 2. Hold yourself to be a couple and present yourself as married 3. Live together
You can get a divorce in any state no matter what state you were married in.
You file divorce in the state in which you are a resident, regardless of where you were married. So if you are resident of TX, that's where you file for divorce.
If you marry a man in Texas, you are married to that man until your divorce is final. So if you try to marry a man in Louisiana before your Texas divorce is final, the second marriage is invalid. In order to get a marriage license, you have to state that you are not already married. If you are, then you lied on the application, which will invalidate the license. You could also be charged with the crime of bigamy. You will have to marry him again after the Texas divorce is final if you want to be married to him.
You have to divorce in the same state you were married in. Some states require you to divorce in the very county you were married in.
It depends on who you are married to.
Yes. The Texas State Supreme Court ruled on June 19, 2015, that same-sex couples can sue for and be granted divorce in Texas. This includes same-sex couples that married in other states. This is true despite the fact that the Texas law does not permit or recognize same-sex marriage for any other purpose. Under Texas divorce law, the basis for the divorce petition can be merely that the marriage is same-sex and therefore is void under state law.
If your "fiance" has a wife in Texas he must go back to Texas to divorce her. He should consult with an attorney.
Yes.
If you both have residency there.
