Can you get a divorce from another state when you reside in another and got married in a different state?

Divorce laws vary from state to state, so my answer may not apply to every situation. I can tell you that here in Minnesota, so long as one party has been a resident or domiciliary for at least 6 months, you can petition for divorce regardless of where you were married. Things can get complicated if there is property or children that are in another state, however. I'd encourage you to check with an attorney in your area, most should offer free consultations.
