  1. Moving To California? What About Divorce Residency Requirements?

  2. If you are moving to California and are considering divorcing your spouse, you may be confused as to what steps you need to take, particularly if your spouse will be in another state. The good news is that you can divorce somebody whether they are in a different state or in California.

  3. If You Move, You May Have To Wait To get divorced in California, a spouse or couple must meet certain residency requirements. While you do not have to divorce in the same state you were married then, you must meet the requirements for the state you currently reside in. If you or your spouse wish to obtain a divorce in California, you must reside in California.

  4. Only one spouse has to live in California in order for a divorce to commence. You or your spouse must have been a resident of California for at least six months prior to filing for divorce. If either you or your spouse are California residents but have not been a resident in your current county for three months, then you can file for the divorce in the county you previously lived in.

  5. What If I Do Not Meet The Residency Requirements? If you or your spouse do not meet the residency requirements for divorce in California, you can still file for a legal separation until the residency requirements are met. After you are legally separate, you will be able to amend the petition and ask for divorce once the time has passed and the residency requirements are met.

  6. If time is a pressing issue, you may wish to return to the state you and your spouse previously lived in to file for the divorce. You should check the divorce residency requirements for the state that you previously lived in before making a decision.
