• One of the spouses must be a resident of the county where the divorce was filed for a minimum of 90 days.
• The divorce must be filed on a few grounds too. Such as one spouse committed adultery or was convicted of a felony and has been imprisoned for more than a year without pardon.
• One spouse abandoned the other for one year or longer.
