Divorce in CA or MD?? Lawyers please respond...

[rkadams]

I have recently moved to CA from MD and am wondering where I need to file for divorce. My husband still lives in MD but I would like to file in CA if possible to make it easier. I understand the residency laws in CA are 6 months but I was also wondering if I have to wait that long considering the divorce will be uncontested and there are no children and no property or things involved.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes you will have to meet the residency requirements. So if your husband files in MD they will have jurisdiction.

I agree.

So now the question is, who will file the lawsuit?
