Virtual Appointments Yes so long as you meet the residency requirements. You must be a resident of California for at least 6 months and a resident of Orange County for at least 3 months. If you do not meet the residency requirements you can file for Legal Separation and amend your Petition to Dissolution of Marriage once you meet the residency requirements.
Virtual Appointments You can get a divorce in California, regardless of where you were married.
