my husband and I have an "informal marriage" in texas, which isn't recognized in Louisiana. I will have to move to Louisiana to be with my family because he is abusive; I won't be able to stay in Texas, because I have nowhere to stay here. I'm told that after 6 months I can file for divorce in Louisiana even though he's still in Texas. But if my marriage isn't legally recognized in Louisiana, how will that work?

Because under Texas law you are married.
