text: can i file for divorce in the state of arizona without actually being there? i would like to file to divorce my husband.  he has agreed to an amicable divorce process (for what that's worth)..  i am moving to oregon in two days.  i would like to file for divorce here in arizona, but i don't want to be here or come back for any of the process.  can i complete the process without physically being here? is he in arizona?  usually somebody has to be a resident.  if you move somewhere else, you're no longer a resident.  are there children involved or property?    you need to ask an attorney.  i'm going to guess the answer will be "no", if neither of you are residents of the state.  however, i could be wrong.
