You can file for a divorce, in the state of California.

He is not a legal resident of OR yet. He would have to live there for six months before he could file in OR. Therefore only CA would have jurisdiction at this time.

Since CA is a community property state, your separate finances aren't necssarily going to help you. Get a consult with an attorney asap.

Or Ca

should I wait until he is a legal resident of OR would that change financial considerations?
