Rhode Island Residency Requirements for Divorce
To file for divorce in Rhode Island, at least one of the spouses must have been a resident of the state for a year or more before filing the Complaint for Divorce.
The divorce documents should be filed in the county where the defendant (non-filing spouse) currently resides, or, if the defendant is not a resident of Rhode Island, in the plaintiff's place of residence.
Members of the United States Armed Forces may be considered as Rhode Island residents if they have been stationed within the state for the relevant time.
