Two state Divorce

[LostInOz]

My spouse and I are in full agreement to get a divorce. We have no joint assets, no children. We have not lived in the same home for three years nor the same state for 18 months. I am in Kansas and he is in California. He said he would file (3 months ago) and cover the expenses. He is now telling me that California requires more information than he expected for a no-fault/uncontested divorce because we live in two different states. I have found no such information for California nor Kansas. I have located all the normal information for each state but nothing that addresses two different state involvement. Isn't the state where the divorce is filed the governing state law? If so, would it be better for me to file in Kansas, as I have found nothing different whether we both live here or not. I have the needed residency to file.
Is there something I am missing regarding rules when the two parties live in different states?
Also, my spouse will not tell me what California is requiring because of this two state issue. Can you assist me?

 

[I AM ALWAYS LIABLE]

My response:

He just doesn't want to pay. There's nothing wrong with filing in California. Just file in Kansas, and be done with him.
