undefinedWhat is the name of your state? CA
If you were married in NV 1983-84, moved to AR, seperated April 2004, spouse (wife) still resides in AR, I live in ID (husband) been here since leaving AR, can I get a divorce where I now reside, or do I need to go back to AR? I also want to get a on line divorce, is this possible from where I am living now?

As long as you have lived in ID long enough to establish residency (typically 6 months) then you are perfectly free to file for divorce there.

However...if children are involved, and they still live in AR with your wife....then AR would have jurisdiction over matters regarding the children.

I would strongly advise against trying for an online divorce. People who have done that have been seriously "burned". Do it through the courts in ID.

Our writer mentions he's in California. How does California fit into this matter?
