Can you get divorced in one state while living in another state?

Yes. You can get divorced in the state where you now reside.
But, if you are asking if you can leave one state to get a divorce, note the following information. You must be/become a legal resident of the state in which you file for divorce, without regard to what state you were married in. Each state has its own laws regulating divorce and the specifics of how one becomes a legal resident, the time period required after becoming a resident before you can file for divorce as well as the time period required between filing, separating, and finalizing the divorce, when it is contested or not contested. This varies from state to state.
Also, it can become a question of "who filed when" as well as "who filed where." The first filing takes precedence, so if a husband files in one state and the wife files in another, the first who filed can determine where the divorce will take place. Check your state laws regarding residency as well as waiting time required between filing and actually being able to be granted the divorce. These time parameters are rigid and it can take years longer if the courts are clogged or either party drags their feet.

∙ 17y agoNo. You can not legally marry another while still married to someone else. You need to wait for the divorce to go thru before another marriage. You must wait until the divorce is finalized otherwise you're guilty of bigamy. In that situation, the second marriage would be considered invalid and you could go to jail.

You must file for divorce in the state that has jurisdiction to order the divorce. For most people, this is the state where you live. However, if your spouse lives in another state, or if you are only temporarily living in your current state, the other state may have proper jurisdiction.

∙ 14y agoWait until the divorce papers are signed by the judge. You are only legally allowed to be married to one person at a time, even if a divorce is pending.

How do you collect your disability insurance while on maternity leave you live in the state of California?
Yes, a person can collect California State disability payments if he or she is living in another state. A person's eligibility for California State disability benefits is determined by the amount of money that he or she contributed to the SDI while they were employed in California, not by the state that they are currently living in.
Can a car be registered and insured in one state to be driven in another?
Registration and insurance in any state will allow you to operate the vehicle in every state, but if you are actually living in another state, you must get insurance, registration, and a driver's license in your state of residence. The only exception I know of is that a member of the armed services may keep all of these from his state of "permanent residence" while stationed in another.
Can you get remarried in one state while married to another person in another state if divorce papers are about to be signed by the judge?
Absolutely not. You would still be married to your first spouse and your remarriage would be invalid. You cannot be legally remarried while you are still married to your spouse. Papers "about to be signed" are not signed and carry no legal significance whatsoever. You are not divorced until the judge signs the decree and it is entered into the record.
