Choosing to get a divorce is one of the most difficult decisions a person can make. Divorce can bring many mixed emotions, which can easily cloud a person's judgment and lead to rash decision-making.

Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce

An individual can choose to file for a contested or uncontested divorce. A contested divorce is, as its very name suggests, contentious because both parties cannot agree on divorce-related matters such as child support, child custody, and visitation. These divorces must be settled in court, which can be lengthy and emotionally taxing for both parties. Uncontested divorces are those in which both parties can amicably agree on everything and simply need to sign the required documents to make their divorce final.

California Residency Requirement for Divorce

In order to file for divorce in California, you first have to meet a residency requirement. The residency requirement states that:

• Either you or your spouse must be a California resident for the six months preceding your filing
• You must have lived in the county that you are filing for at least three months preceding your filing

If you lived in two different counties for three months each during the six months prior to filing, you can file in either county. If you don’t meet both of these residency requirements, then your case may not be accepted, or it may be dismissed.
