A:
To start the divorce process in Los Angeles, California, you can:
1. Consult with an attorney or a self-help center to understand your legal rights and options.
2. File a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with the local family court.
3. Serve the divorce papers to your spouse, and then follow the court's procedures for asset division, child custody, and support.
4. Regarding your plan to move to Texas, consult with your attorney to ensure compliance with any legal requirements related to relocating with your children, as child custody and visitation may be affected by the move.
