Can you divorce in a different state than you were married?
You can file for divorce in a state other than the state in which you are married, as long as you meet residency requirements. If you do not meet the residency requirements for the state in which you are attempting to file for divorce, your divorce complaint can be rejected.
Can I get divorced without my spouse being in CT?
Yes. In most cases at least one spouse must have been lived in Connecticut for the past 12 months before the court can grant a divorce (called dissolution in Connecticut). The 12 months can be either before one spouse files a complaint or before the court enters a final decree.
Can a man divorce his wife without her knowing?
You can divorce your spouse even if you can’t find him/her and even without their participation in the divorce proceeding, so long as a Judge is satisfied that your spouse had notice of the divorce proceeding. When your spouse is M.I.A., notice by publication may be your best option.
