States vary on the requirement of separation prior to divorce. A lot depends on the type of divorce being sought. The bigger question is whether moving to another state can expedite a divorce. New Jersey, for example, is among a number of states that require one year's residency prior to being able to file. Alaska only requires 30 days. Washington and South Dakota have no set residency requirement, but both have waiting times, depending on the action upon which the complaint is filed. Florida has a six month residency requirement but no waiting period or separation requirement.

In some states Alienation is a grounds for divorce. It should be stated on the petition for divorce if your state requires a compelling reason to ask for divorce. If you happen to live in a no fault state, the issue of alienation is moot. In a no fault state you do not need a reason to get a divorce. In that case, your "reason" is not a consideration (legally that is). Make sure you find out if your state is no fault so that you will know how to proceed.
