MAINE
Either
spouse must be a resident of Maine, or the marriage or the grounds for
divorce must have occurred in Maine. Otherwise, a person filing for
divorce must be a resident of Maine for 6 months immediately prior to
filing. The divorce may be filed for in the District Court in the county
where either spouse resides. However, the defendant spouse has the right
to have the proceeding moved to Superior Court. [Maine Revised Statutes
Annotated; Title 4, Section 155; and Title 19, Section 691]. The
only no-fault ground for divorce in Maine is: Irreconcilable marital
differences. [Maine Revised Statutes Annotated; Title 19, Section 691
(1)]. |
