Divorce and Residency Requirements
To get divorced in the state of California, it is necessary to first establish that the state has the jurisdiction to grant your divorce. This requires establishing residency in the state for at least six months, and the county in which you are filing for at least three months. There are a number of fairly simple ways to establish residency; it may be particularly important to your divorce procedure to be familiar with these.
