MINNESOTA

One of the spouses must have been a resident of Minnesota for at least 180 days immediately before the petition for dissolution of marriage is filed. The dissolution of marriage may be filed for in a county where either spouse resides. [Minnesota Statutes Annotated; Chapters 518.07 and 518.09].

The no-fault ground for divorce in Minnesota is: Irrevocable breakdown of the marriage shown by 1) living separate and apart for 180 days; or 2) serious marital discord adversely affecting the attitude of one or both of the spouses toward the marriage. [Minnesota Statutes Annotated; Chapters 518.06 and 518.13].
