More details to this question:
I got married in Nicaragua last year in September, but things didn't work out the way we planned it, and now I would like the divorce. We have a 3 year old son. He also was deported from the US. Can I start the process of divorce here in the U.S?

If the marriage was valid in Nicaragua, it is presumed to be valid in Texas. If you have met the residence requirements, you are entitled to file for divorce in Texas; however, you may have some difficulty in serving your husband with notice of the divorce case. I suggest you hire a lawyer.
