Two spouses lived throughout their marriage in State J. They jointly decided to obtain a quick divorce in State K because State K's filing fees were lower and its docket was faster. Neither spouse had ever lived in State K, owned property there, worked there, or intended to move there. State K's statute requires one spouse to be domiciled in State K for 180 days before filing. The spouses filed a joint petition in State K, waived objections to jurisdiction, and alleged both irretrievable breakdown and desertion.
The evidence showed that the spouses had lived apart for only two weeks. They agreed that neither had abandoned the other; they simply wanted to end the marriage quickly. State K's trial court entered a divorce decree. Three months later, one spouse asks a State J court to disregard the decree so that marital property can be divided there.
Discuss whether State K had power to enter the divorce decree, whether the spouses' agreement mattered, and whether the alleged grounds were sufficient.
