| | Divorce Law Jurisdictional Requirements | | | To file for divorce, the plaintiff must meet the residency requirements of the jurisdiction where the divorce is filed. Residency requirements vary significantly from state to state. When the other spouse resides in another state, a local court will typically be able to grant a valid divorce, but may be limited in its ability to divide property or determine custody and child support. It is possible for a spouse who lives in another state to consent to having all divorce-related issues decided by your local court. If you are concerned that your spouse may be filing for divorce in another state or jurisdiction, you should consult with an attorney about whether it would be appropriate for you to try to file a divorce in your own state. In many circumstances, the divorce will be decided in the state where a complaint for divorce is first filed, which can result in significant difficulty and expense to a spouse who resides in another state. |

You should think of every case as a trial case and start preparing for trial the first day you get the case.
