WHERE SHOULD I FILE MY DIVORCE CASE?

QUESTION: How do I get divorced if I live in California and my spouse lives in Arizona? I have been separated from my wife since 2007 and I want to file for divorce. I live in California, and she lives in Arizona, where do I file?

MY ANSWER: File here, have her served in Arizona, and proceed with your case here. Wouldn't that be preferable to your wife filing in Arizona, having you served here, and you having to go to Arizona to assert your rights? You can't file in Arizona if you are a California resident.
