How do you find out if your husband has filed for a divorce in another state and is it possible to file a divorce if you don't have the other person sign any documents?

It is very difficult to file for divorce if the parties live in different states. Your husband would be required to have you officially served with the notice of divorce if he tried to file and each state has residency requirements. He cannot file at some other state in secret.

If you live in Oklahoma and your spouse lives in Texas can you file for divorce in Oklahoma?

Yes. You can file for divorce in the state in which you were married or the state in which you are a resident of. It does not matter that you and your spouse live in different states you just cannot file for divorce in a state that neither have you have any relation to. It would be best for you to file first, since you live in different states, to spare yourself the traveling costs and other expenses that would be associated with traveling to Texas should your spouse file first.

Married in California can you file for a divorce in buffalo?

You can file for divorce in the state you were married in (even if neither you or your spouse currently live there) or in the states in which you and your spouse are residents of. Typically, to establish residency in a state you need to live there for somewhere between 6 months to 1 year. That being said, it is best to file for divorce where you live now to save yourself the trips to other states but nevertheless you have options.

You married in California can you file for a divorce in New Jersey?

You can file for divorce in New Jersey as long as you or your ex-husband live there now. If not, then you can file in California or any state that either of you live. When a party to a marriage has moved it makes sense to try to file for divorce in the state you moved to because it is much more convenient! That being said, if your ex lives in another state make sure you file first if the location of the divorce is important to you.
