Q: Can living in Dallas hotel count as residing 4 divorce? Belongings stored in Dallas. We travel and don't live anywhere.
When our lease expired in Dallas Co we went on a year long travel. Our belongings are stored in Dallas. Our car is registered in Dallas. My driver license is in Dallas Co.
We have been in one hotel in Dallas Co for 31 days and counting. My husband is draining our resources as a serious alcoholic and I need to divorce ASAP. Does any of the above facts make us residents of Dallas Co toward the 90 day requirements or must I rent a place and start from day 1? My husband has already been hospitalized due to acute alcohol withdrawal twice and I need to get out. He has refused help and has been fired from a 300k a year job. I'm terrified that he will not survive the next acute withdrawal episode. I want to help him but must protect myself financially by divorcing and taking half our assets before he drains the rest of it.
A: You have to reside in Texas for 6 months and the county for last 90 days in order for court to be able to issue any orders. Good luck 888-243-4529.
