    Default Re: What State's Laws Govern a Divorce

    They would be governed by the state holding jurisdiction. Every state that I have lived in has a residency clause in the statutes governing dissolution of marriage/divorce. That clause determines who may petition the court to dissolve a marriage under state law. Here in Arizona, the Arizona Revised Statutes require that at least one party must have resided in the state for a minimum of ninety consecutive days before filing a petition for dissolution of marriage (that's what we call a divorce here) in a Superior Court of the State of Arizona. Your friend would be well advised to look up Michigan's statutes.
