I think for purposes of your situation it would be necessary to speak to a lawyer in both TX and MS as the marital property laws differ substantially from state to state. For example, in TX, spousal maintenance is limited in amount and duration, whereas other states are known to be more generous on this issue. Also, child support can vary considerably from state to state. To be safe, I would discuss this matter with an attorney as soon as possible.
