I would ask for your possesions back in the divorce in lieu of spousal support. Physician=makes money! 🙂

ok but she needs to follow thru with attorney as if he serves her (as she lives in NY state and that is how he would have to do it according to rules of the county she is in)  she will be waiting from date of legal separation (not just leaving him but legal court document) to have the divorce final.   NY makes people wait a year 

The divorce will take place in Texas. That is where her attorney is and where she resided during the time of her marriage.

Divorce can take place in either state where the parties currently reside.   Where she used to live or where the attorney's office is located does not matter.  Her choice was NY or husband's current state of residence.   If the case was filed in Texas it would be because the husband is a Texas resident or Texas would not have jurisdiction.

Hi, Yes I filed in texas because he's been resident of Dallas since many years. I couldn’t have filed in NY because I didn't meet necessary requirements to file for divorce in NYC.

Hi, yes thats what I want to try to do. Given my spouse’s behavior I know I'm in for a long battle! Thanks to Almighty I recently got a full time job offer from PricewaterhouseCoopers Accounting Firm in NY and will have decent income...so I'm just wondering if I'll get any spousal support..I did want a compensation because of the trauma he's putting me through, how's he deceived me, threatened me falsely but not sure if that will go in my favor. 

 

I just want to get rid of him, get belongings back and then  see if any support/compensation is gettable.

Texas is a community-property state, so you should be entitled to half of assets accumulated during your marriage.  Find an aggressive (but not a nasty) divorce attorney.
