Residency Requirements

In Massachusetts, filing requirements for divorce vary depending on the circumstances of the case. If the ground for divorce occurred within the state, then either spouse must be a current resident of Massachusetts.

If it is impossible to prove that the ground for divorce occurred in the state, one of the parties must be a resident of Massachusetts for at least one year before filing for divorce.

Also, the plaintiff should file for divorce in the county where he/she lives.

It is convenient in the sense that I don't have to go down to city hall, find parking and wait in line to fill out paperwork.
