If North Carolina requires a separation of 1 year and a day before divorce papers can be filed can you get a divorce more quickly by moving to another state?
States vary on the requirement of separation prior to divorce. A lot depends on the type of divorce being sought. The bigger question is whether moving to another state can expedite a divorce. New Jersey, for example, is among a number of states that require one year's residency prior to being able to file. Alaska only requires 30 days. Washington and South Dakota have no set residency requirement, but both have waiting times, depending on the action upon which the complaint is filed. Florida has a six month residency requirement but no waiting period or separation requirement.
If a same-sex couple marries in Iowa must they divorce there?
Not necessarily. There's no law that says you have to divorce in the same state that you were married in, or even the same country. In order to file for divorce in one of the United States, however, you must meet that state's residency requirement. If you live in Iowa, then you cannot go to another state to file for divorce. A typical residency requirement is one year. Most people are not willing to move to another state and live there for a year just so they can divorce there. If you live in, say, North Dakota and you travelled to Iowa to marry, then returned to North Dakota, it will be very difficult for you to divorce, since North Dakota will not recognize your marriage even for the purpose of dissolving it. A same-sex couple must divorce in a state that recognizes their marriage, but only the spouse who files the divorce petition is required to meet that state's residency requirement. One notable exception is Washington DC, which waives the residency requirement for out-of-state same-sex couples who married in DC.

Dose Maryland have a residency requirement to file for a divorce?
All states do. Maryland laws require at least one party to have resided in the state of Maryland for one (1) year before the divorce forms are filed, if the grounds for divorce occurred outside the state. If the grounds for divorce occurred within the state of Maryland, there are no residency requirements but at least one spouse must be a resident of the state of Maryland.
What state has the shortest waiting period for divorce?
Nevada has the short residency period- 6 weeks. As for the speediest divorce procedures- the shortest residency requirement does not necessarily mean quickest divorces. The majority of people file for divorce in the state in which they are already a resident, meaning they don't have any wait before they can file.
What state is easiest to get a divorce in?
Nevada is often considered one of the easiest states to get a divorce in due to its shorter residency requirement and no-fault divorce laws. Some other states with relatively straightforward divorce processes include Florida, Wyoming, and South Dakota.
Where do you file for a divorce if married in Texas but now reside in Maryland?
As long as you meet the residency requirement for Maryland (having lived there from somewhere between 6 months and 1 year) then you are able to file for divorce in either Texas or Maryland.
Do you need to get a divorce in the same country that you got married in?
No. However, most countries (and states) have a residency requirement for divorce. That means, you must live in the country (and probably the state) where you file for a divorce for a minimum amount of time before you can file there (usually one year in the United States). Also, in the case of a same-sex marriage, you must file for divorce in a country (and state, in the U.S.) where your marriage is legally recognized - - not necessarily the same country (or state) where you were married, but one of the countries (and states) where same-sex marriages are recognized. Again, you will most likely have to satisfy a residency requirement.
