The question
My spouse and I are filing for an uncontested divorce after 8 years of marriage. We are both California residents, don’t have children, and my spouse has agreed to provide me with spousal support. I plan on moving from CA to Nevada after 1/1/2012.
I want the divorce to be processed and finalized with the least amount of complications.
If I file for divorce in CA now (by 11/1/2011) and then move to NV in January, will that affect the processing of my divorce? In other words, is it LEGAL for me to file for divorce in California, and then move to Nevada and establish residency there?
…Or should I wait to file the divorce until after I move to NV and have established the 6-weeks residency requirement there for divorce filing?
Which scenario will be the least complicated- filing for divorce in CA or NV?
Thank you.
