Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Reply: Divorce Application

In order to file for divorce in California, you would have to be a resident of the state for 6 months continually, and the county that you file in for 3 months continually, before filing.

Good luck to you!

Re: Divorce Application

The only way you can get a divorce in Nevada is if you or your spouse live in Nevada for at least 6 weeks. If you were married in Nevada you can have your marriage annuled in Nevada without being a resident for 6 weeks provided you meet the statutory grounds for an annulment. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

Re: Divorce Application

You can file in any state where she has been living for the statutory period, which in CA is 6 months. The prior atty response was incorrect in this regard.

What state, and what county, does she live in and how long in that state and in that county?

What are the issues? Just getting single? If so, that will be simple.

Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client relationship, unless a written retainer agreement is executed by the attorney and client. This communication contains general information only. Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client communication nor legal advice. There likely are deadlines and time-limits associated with your case; you should contact an attorney of your choice for legal advice specific to your personal situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

web site at --

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

The facts that you have provided are not clear

enough and/or complete enough to provide a

definitive answer to you inquiry; however, I would

say you should first look into whether or not you can get a divorce in the Philippines. If so, it will be accepted in the United States. Otherwise you might be able to get a divorce in the state where YOUR WIFE meets the residence requirements. If she is living in California, contact an experienced Family Law attorney in the county where she lives for specific advice and possible representation on your behalf.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry, and good luck with your case.
