If I'm in the military can my wife up and leave and then file a divorce in the other state

Question

If I'm in the military can my wife up and leave and then file a divorce in the other state



Answer

Most states require residency for some period before they will exercise jurisdiction over a marriage. In California, at least one of the spouses must reside in California for six months, and in the same county for four months, before filing for divorce or the filing is invalid.



Answer

Exactly what the attorney above me said. I just verified it on Westlaw.



Answer

Yes, and it is up to you to challenge it, depending on the jurisdictional and residency issues.
