State Divorce Residency Requirements
Before initiating a divorce with the courts, you need to make sure the court will have proper jurisdiction over your case. This means you must meet certain requirements. The requirements are largely based on residency. This being said, most courts require that you live in the county or parish for a specific amount of time immediately prior to filing for the divorce.
