Divorce in other state

Dear dreasmarine:

Greetings. You will need to speak with an attorney in Pennsylvania. Sorry. I would assume that he needs to file here, but you should consult a Pennsylvania attorney about their requirements for filing divorce. Thank you.

The response posted above is based upon the limited factual information made available and is not intended as a full and complete response to the question. The only reliable manner to obtain complete and adequate legal advice is to consult with an attorney, fully explain your situation, and allow the attorney sufficient opportunity to research the applicable law and facts required to render an accurate opinion.

I was wondering if anyone can answer this question. My husband and I were married in PA. He is in military and we both reside in NC> Can he file in PA for divorce or does it need to be in NC? When I questioned PA law it stated that you had to be a resident of PA for 6 months before filing and in NC you had to be seperated for 1 year. Can he file in PA or does he need to file in NC since he resides here now?
