What does it cost in the United states to get a divorce if you were married in Mexico?
I am not an attorney, but the USA recognises marriages from almost all other countries, that being said, it doesn't matter where you were marriage, what does matter is are you a Mexican citizen or American citizen. It should cost the same as it costs anyone else to get divorced, just call your county clerk of courts & they can tell you anything you need to know. If you have no children and no property to divide (or you divide everything yourselves -- get cars & houses transfered into whomever is keeping it's name) then you can pick up forms at the family court and file for divorce on your own if the divorce is amicable. The forms can run from $80.00 to $500.00 depending on the jurisdiction.
The primary trial court in Texas?
There are a number of trial courts in the Texas court system. The primary trial courts are District Courts, County Courts, Justice Courts, and Municipal Courts. The jurisdiction of each type of court varies from county to county. District Courts are the courts of general jurisdiction in the Texas court system, and they may hear any civil or criminal case. Generally, District Courts hear cases beyond the jurisdiction of other courts, such as felony crimes, civil cases for large sums of money, contested probate cases, and family cases, such as divorce. Every county has at least one District Court, and some have several. Some smaller counties share District Courts. County Courts may be of three different kinds - County Courts at Law, Constitutional County Courts, and Statutory Probate Courts. County Courts at Law hear misdemeanor criminal cases and civil cases for under $100,000. Constitutional County Courts are also known as County Commissioners' Courts, and may have limited judicial functions in counties that also have County Courts at Law. Statutory Probate Courts, in the counties where they exist, have jurisdiction over most probate matters. Justice Courts and Municipal Courts have limited jurisdiction over minor criminal offenses and minor civil cases, depending on the county. For more information on the Texas court system, and to see which courts exist in a particular county and how to find out more information about a county's courts, visit the Texas Courts Guide related link.
