Divorce and Residency
There are a number of pre-requisites which people seeking a divorce in the State of Florida must meet in order to begin filing to dissolve their marriage. One of the most important is that the person filing must be a legal resident of the state. Residency can be obtained in a number of ways, and knowing what this entails could be potentially very important to the filing process.

Establishing Residency
According to Florida state law, a person must be a legal resident of the state for at least six months before he or she can file for divorce. Residency can be obtained in a number of ways, such as:
- Living in the state with the bulk of your possessions
- Holding a Florida state driver’s license
- Owning property in the state
- Having a leasehold interest in a property in the state
If any of these circumstances have been in place for at least six months, you may have a legal claim to residency and can therefore file for a divorce.
