Is there legal separation in Texas?

The action is usually referred to as "separate maintenance", where the couple reside apart but are still legally married. The court establishes the rights and liabilities of each party (child support, custody, property division, alimony, etc.). It is required that a couple file for and be granted a divorce for the marriage to be legally dissolved. Actually, no, Texas does not have legal separation. per http://www.nicholslaw.com/CM/FSDP/PracticeCenter/Family-Law/Texas-Divorce.asp?focus=faq A legal separation deals with property distribution and child support and custody issues without ending the marriage. While most states have some form of legal separation, however, Texas does not. In Texas, temporary orders concerning marital issues can be granted while a divorce is pending, but there is no provision for an indefinite legal separation.


If North Carolina requires a separation of 1 year and a day before divorce papers can be filed can you get a divorce more quickly by moving to another state?

States vary on the requirement of separation prior to divorce. A lot depends on the type of divorce being sought. The bigger question is whether moving to another state can expedite a divorce. New Jersey, for example, is among a number of states that require one year's residency prior to being able to file. Alaska only requires 30 days. Washington and South Dakota have no set residency requirement, but both have waiting times, depending on the action upon which the complaint is filed. Florida has a six month residency requirement but no waiting period or separation requirement.
