How long must I have lived in California prior to filing for divorce in an California court?
At least one of the parties to the dissolution action (“dissolution” is the technical California name for divorce) in California must have been a resident of the state for at least six months prior to the filing of the action and a resident of the county in which the action is filed for at least three months prior to the action being filed.
