Where do we get divorced since we were married in NJ and now live in FL?

Answer 1

Answer

A person(s) file for a divorce in the state where they reside. Marriage and divorce decrees are shared venues between states. Meaning if a marriage is legal in Florida it is legal in N.J. and the dissolution of the marriage can occur in N.J.

Answer

You can only file for divorce in FL if you are a current resident and have been living there for at least six months.

If you have been in NJ for at least one year, you can file in NJ.

Answer 2

You only have to have the papers signed by bothof the parties involved , then the lawyer will proceed with the case and you both can fix it for the final hearing.

If you are the filing party, the plantiff, and you have resident status in your state, file the papers in the state in which you reside. It is the responsibility of the defendant (the other party) to respond to the the complaint. The tough part is having the other party served. You have to satisfy the laws of service for both states-not the hard part. Usually the hard part is service itself.

When you contact your attorney to have the motion drawn up, he will be able to handle your questions.
