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.

Our smooth breakup allowed us to file for uncontested divorce and we just decided to arrange it as simply as possible. Online divorce seemed to be a good idea, and now I'm sure we did it right. All the papers were prepared with no issues and I'm pleased with the price. Thanks.

I think that all the papers related to a certain county with its own legal nuances would be prepared correctly only by a Massachusetts-based company. So that's why I used massachusettsonlinedivorce and I was really satisfied. My divorce papers were completed in a timely manner and I had no troubles with filing. That was a really smooth process and you can be confident with your filing.

It always seemed to me that divorce must be a much more complicated process. I couldn't imagine how I would cope with that. Where do I get all those papers, how to fill them out and where to go and what to do? So, I was really glad I found massachusettsonlinedivorce.com and they took care of all the paperwork and gave me clear instructions on how to file with the court. That made the whole process so much easier!
