New Mexico Residency Requirements The state of New Mexico has unique residency requirements for people who wish to terminate their marriage. You must meet these state-specific requirements prior to filing with your local county court. The New Mexico residency requirements are as follows: The district court has jurisdiction to decree a dissolution of marriage when at the time of filing the petition either party has resided in this state for at least six months immediately preceding the date of the filing and has a domicile in New Mexico. The petition is to be filed in the county in which either spouse reside. Persons serving in any military branch of the United States Government who have been continuously stationed in any military base or installation in New Mexico for such period of six months shall, for the purposes hereof, be deemed to have a domicile of the state and county where such military base or installation is located. (New Mexico Statutes - Article 4 - Sections: 40-4-5) If you DO NOT meet at least one of the above residency requirements, you have the following options: Establish residency in New Mexico for the period time set forth above (this does not mean you have to wait to begin the process of getting your documents). Have your spouse do the filing if he or she meets the New Mexico residency requirements. Choose another state in which you or your spouse meet the requirements (all states are unique, so be sure to check the state in which you were married as an option). < Return to New Mexico Online Divorce STEP 1: Begin Your New Mexico Premium On-line Divorce Click Here to Begin

Recent Customer Testimonials A thousand kudos to you and your professional staff and excellent service. Without your help I would have spent thousands of dollars for no good reason. The documents were prepared without flaw, and my divorce was granted on the terms that were agreed upon without any problems whatsoever. The time frame from initial filing to final decree was less than a month. Michael D., New York Great service! Our divorce was very friendly and simple, but we are in different areas of the country, so this was easy to use because both of us could access it and update it. Plus it saved us about $2000!
