Re: ca residency
California law requires that at least one of the parties has lived in the state for at least 6 months and in the county where the case is filed for at least 3 months prior to filing.
I hope this is helpful!

6 Months.
Re: ca residency
6 months in the state of CA, and 3 months in the county in which the divorce is filed. You may also consider filing for legal separation if you don�t meet the residency requirements, but this is not always advisable. You should consult a family law attorney to determine the proper course.
Feel Free to contact me if you would like to pursue this matter.
Good Luck!
