Divorce basics in the most requested states

General information only, not legal advice. Rules change and every case is different, so confirm the details with a professional.

California

At least one spouse must have lived in California for 6 months and in the county for 3 months. A divorce can't become final until 6 months after the other spouse is served.

Florida

One spouse must have lived in Florida for at least 6 months before filing. Couples with no minor children who agree on everything may qualify for a simplified dissolution.

New York

Residency rules depend on your circumstances and usually require 1 to 2 years in the state. New York allows no-fault divorce when the marriage has broken down for at least 6 months.

Texas

One spouse must have lived in Texas for 6 months and in the county for 90 days. The court generally can't grant the divorce until 60 days after filing.

Common questions

Does this cost anything?

No. Using adivorce.com is free. If you hire a professional, you'll agree on fees directly with them.

Is adivorce.com a law firm?

No. We're not a law firm, we don't give legal advice, and using this site doesn't create an attorney-client relationship. Professionals listed through adivorce.com pay to advertise with us.

Lawyer, mediator or online divorce: which is right for me?

If you and your spouse agree on most things, mediation or an online divorce service can cost much less. If you disagree about custody, property or support, or if there's any safety concern, an attorney is usually the better choice.

What if I'm in danger?

If you're in immediate danger, call 911. For confidential support, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788.
