Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I was living in PA with wife (5 years). Her father got sick so we moved to NJ until he died (3 months). My job transferred me to Texas and wife stayed in NJ (1 month). Now wife wants a divorce. Should I file in Texas? We have a child with another one on the way. Would I want the state that I live in to govern the child custody arrangements?

Generally you file in the state where the children reside.

I advise you to consult with an attorney in person to discuss your particular situation.
