8318

The amount of time that you must live in Guam before filing for a divorce is very different depending on if you and your spouse agree or disagree about getting a divorce.

To file for a divorce in Guam when you and your spouse disagree about getting a divorce (the divorce is contested), either you or your spouse must be a resident of Guam, meaning physically present in Guam, for 90 days right before filing. For members of the military, you would be considered a “resident” if you are on military assignment to a unit or ship home-ported in Guam for at least 90 days right before filing.1

To file for a divorce if both you and your spouse agree in writing to a divorce, either you or your spouse must be a resident of Guam for seven days right before filing.2
