Residency Requirements
So that the Minnesota District Court has jurisdiction over the divorce case, the couple seeking a divorce must meet the specific residency requirements of the state. Either spouse must be a domiciliary or resident of the state of Minnesota for at least 180 days before filing a divorce petition, or either party must be a member of the US military service and be stationed in Minnesota for 180 days or more before filing for divorce.
