The issue of “residency” is important in determining where a couple may file its Divorce case.
In order to start the No-Fault Divorce process, a couple must agree fully to the terms of the divorce, and then file a fully executed complaint in the proper court — where either you or your spouse lives.
In many states, you or your spouse must have lived in that State for at least six (6) months — and sometimes longer for certain states — before a divorce can be filed. That means you may not file for Divorce in that particular state until you have met the six (6) month residency requirement.
Standard Legal’s No-Fault Divorce (without Children) legal forms software details the length of residency requirements for each state in the USA, and provides all of the necessary documents and instructions to complete the dissolution filing for any state.
