Residency requirement: Either party in an action for divorce or annulment must be a resident for six months prior to filing the petition.
Venue for divorce, legal separation, or annulment: For an annulment or divorce, the petition is to be filed with the district court either in the county where the petitioner has been a resident for at least 30 days or the county where the respondent is a resident. A legal separation may be filed in the country where either spouse is a resident. A change in venue may be granted if the plaintiff has been gone from the state for more than 6 months.
Waiting period after initial filing: The court will not issue a final divorce order for at least 90 days after the petition has been filed if there are minor children involved, unless the court finds good cause to waive the waiting period. This waiting period allows parents enough time to complete the required parent education classes.
