I left my wife 18 months back from CA and moved to Nj without leaving any note.
After 18months now I want to file for a divorce. In this case can I file in NJ or I have to
File from CA.Also if I file from Nj will I have to go CA.? :confused:

It is my understanding that you can file in NJ, where you reside, and get a divorce, only; the NJ court will not have jurisdiction to decide child custody issues, child support, division of property, payment of debts, or alimony.

Thanks in Advance.But we have no child, no property and no payments debts from my side.Offcourse she did file for a bankrupty.

I need to file for divorce. Left my husband, under duress ( he was threatening) he remains in Cal. I am in Texas. No kids together, no property... Only a few bits of furniture to claim. He, however, accrewed debts during the time I have been gone (June 2011-March 2012). Where do I stand. Can I go to the courts in Texas to fill out paperwork and serve him ( by mailing the papers?)
