My spouse and I are filing for an uncontested divorce after 8 years of marriage. We are both California residents, don't have any children, and my spouse has agreed to provide me with spousal support. I plan on moving from CA to Nevada after 1/1/2012.

I want the divorce to be processed and finalized with the least amount of complications.

If I file for divorce in CA now (by 11/1/2011) and then move to NV in January, will that affect the processing of my divorce? In other words, is it LEGAL for me to file for divorce in California, and then move to Nevada and establish residency there?

…Or should I wait to file the divorce until after I move to NV and have established the 6-weeks residency requirement there for divorce filing?

Which scenario will be the least complicated- filing for divorce in CA or NV?

Thank you.

You need to do your research.

This isn't a YES or NO type situation.

I don't know either of you.

But, the person that told you they'd provide support to you, even IF you moved to Nevada; I'd discuss that with a lawyer before doing anything.

This isn't something that you can get the correct answer for your situation over the internet.

But, IF you leave the marital HOME before a temporary court order is issued, you could jeopardize everything.

You see, you're about to move out of state based on a promise.

Usually they deny ever saying that, and you appear to be the bad guy.

You're about to be snowed and bamboozled, madam.

Now, don't let him know that you're wise to his "rope-a-dope", just remain calm and get thee to a lawyer.

Heck, even if that promise was in writing, you couldn't enforce.

And, you couldn't serve HIM (if you're a SHE) when you move to Nevada.

I suggest you stop and do nothing before you do something.

You need to do your research on CA & NV divorce law.

But, if both of you won't be in Nevada, you might want to forget that idea.

If I were you, I'd tough it out in CA until I got my divorce.

I also wouldn't just leave the home, UNLESS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE is involved.

And, if it is, you need to start documenting things.

You see, leaving the marital home is considered ABANDONMENT.

That means you are about to screw yourself out of anything and everything.

Now, if being free of this bum is more important to you, go ahead and make his day!

Talk to a good divorce lawyer.

California is a community property state.

That means that everything acquired by either of you during the marriage belongs to BOTH of you 50-50!

A lawyer can talk you though all of this and get a temporary support order in place until things are finalized.

But, you can start your internet research now!!!





By the way, divorce just got tougher in California this year!!!!
