Where do you file for a divorce if you were married in Maryland and now reside in Georgia? |
[Edit] |
I think it is Maryland because they got married there.
Where to File?
Of course you file for divorce in the state you reside in. Can yoy imagine how much travelling would be involved if you had to file where you got your marriage license? The only question here is about length of residence. Each state requires a minimum residence before you can file.
