You would have to dismiss the California case and file in your present state.
Good luck to you!

You can dismiss the case in California and then file in the state that either of you live. However, it would be easy to complete your dissolution here in California and could be complete within a couple of monthe, depending on the county. It is also probable that neither would need to appear in court. It might be cheaper to finish that way as opposed to filing a brand new dissolution. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
