If there are no children, you do not have to wait. You can live wherever you wish to live.

Issue may be decided by the Judge. Contact their assistant and find out their policy. Usually if no children either party may move whenever they wish.

You do not have to continue to reside within the jurisdiction where the bankruptcy is being processed. You should most certainly seen attorney and make sure you are represented even if you leave. Most divorces, even those which are friendly, don't always end up that way.

You can move though you may need to come back for court (though if there is a full agreement, the court will sometimes allow you to appear by phone).

The only significant question is whether you lived in this state for at least six months before the divorce is started, and also in the county for at least 30 days. You should have no obstacle in moving out of state after the divorce is commenced. Good Luck.

Yes, you can move out, however, I would suggest you consider sign a Waiver to Appear so that you spouse can get it competed without you having to be present. Good luck.

Are you the Plaintiff or Defendant? If you do not have children, and your Property Settlement Agreement is signed, there is no reason you couldn't move. Keep in mind that if you are the Plaintiff you do have to have lived in NE for one year prior to filing for divorce and if no one still lives here, that can present a jurisdiction issue. If at least one of you lives here, though, the case should proceed regardless. Best wishes!
