Indiana I don't know if anyone can help with this, but my wife filed for divorce right after moving to a new county and I would think you would be required to have a permanent residence for a certain amount of time before a divorce petitition can be filed. Even though she was coming and going from our house;(staying with friends etc.) she obtained an apartment around the same time she filed for divorce. Help please.
