i was born and raised in MS. for the past 3 yrs, ive lived in FL-the only time i ever lived outside MS.
i know this makes me a FL resident, but i have nothing to prove this-i dont work, drive, vote-basically i dont exist.
i plan to leave my husband, but i cant afford to live alone, yet. i will be going immediatly to my parents in MS. i need to start college by Jan 07, lest i have to wait till jan 08-its a yr long training program.
it will be difficult to drive back and forth btwn FL and MS everytime i have to do something legally- divorce, custody, getting driver's license, as well as i need my name changed before i get my license. and i cant wait 6 months to become a MS resident. i need to drive, and go thru the processes of getting into that college program. and everything else.
are there any special circumstances where a state will take jurisdiction without waiting till youre an official resident, especially if you were born in that state? i personally would consider the above as such a circumstance.
so, who will likely have jurisdiction with all this stuff i have to do?
