Generally, you must file for divorce in the state you live in and usually in the county where you live. A legal marriage in another state is legal in all other states. You must first meet minimum residency requirements for filing in your state. This establishes jurisdiction (or the court's ability to make a binding decision).
For California, you must have lived in:
- California for the last 6 months, AND
- The county where you plan to file the divorce for the last 3 months.

A judgment of dissolution of marriage may not be entered unless one of the parties to the marriage has been a resident of this state (CA) for six months and of the county in which the proceeding is filed for three months next preceding the filing of the petition.? If you are a resident of CA, you file in CA. "The most common mistake people make is believing they must divorce in the state in which they were married. This is simply not true. Most divorce cases throughout the United States are filed in the county in which the filing spouse resides." So, in short, you file for divorce in the state you have residency in. If you just moved and do not have residency, you can wait out the residency period of the state you are in and then file if you so choose. That means you can attempt to establish residency in Clark County, Nevada if you want to file for divorce there. Nevada's residency laws are more lenient than that of California.
