QUESTION: When you get a divorce, which laws apply: the laws of the state in which you got married or laws of the state where you get divorced?
MY RESPONSE: The laws of the state in which the divorce is filed are the laws that apply to your divorce. However, if you and your spouse had a Prenup (aka a Prenuptial Agreement, Premarital Agreement, and/or Antenuptial Agreement) which require that the laws of a different state apply to the Prenup, the court in the state in which you get divorced will likely apply the laws of the specified state with regard to the Prenup.
