Residency Requirements in Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska

Divorce can be a trying process and there are some people who just want to the divorce to happen as quickly as possible. There may even be cases where the parties are in different states and still want the divorce to happen quickly. However, the reality is that there are residency requirements for a divorce in each state. This just means that parties must be a resident of the state they want to file in for a certain amount of time before the divorce can happen.

Filing for Divorce in Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, or Nebraska

The required length of time for residency varies from state to state. If you want to get divorced in Missouri or Illinois, you must be a resident of the state for at least 90 days before you can proceed with the divorce process. In Kansas, the residency requirement is 60 days. In Oklahoma, one of the spouses must be a resident for six months in the state. In Nebraska, one of the parties must have resided in the state for one year in order to file for divorce. When you file for divorce in either state, you must provide proof to the court that you have been a resident of the state for the required length of time.If possible, you should try to file in your home state so that you won’t have to hassle with the expense of traveling each time you have a court proceeding. This is also something to keep in mind if you think your spouse is going to file for divorce in another state. At the end of the day, it would be wise for both parties to file in their home state. This will make the process easier and maybe a little less painful.
