Where can I get an uncontested divorce?
I have no children and my husband and I have already made a settlement agreement without the assistance of a lawyer. I would like to know if I am allowed to get a divorce in if I go to college there 9 months out of the year. My technical residency is in another state with my parents (I am 21 years old) but I would prefer to get my divorce in the stae in which I go to school. I leave the state in the summer and for 1 month during Christmas but I work here and my W2 forms have this address.

If the state where you go to school is deemed your state of residence where you work in that state while attending school then most likely you have residency to file for the uncontested divorce that you desire. If your soon to be "ex" husband does not contest the dissolution proceeding filed in that state then you should have nothing to worry about in filing the petition for the uncontested divorce.
