Answer:
In California, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for at least six months before filing for divorce. Additionally, the spouse must have resided in the county where the divorce is filed for at least three months.
In Iowa, the law states that either the Respondent must be a resident of Iowa, or the Plaintiff must have lived in Iowa in good faith for at least one year before filing for divorce.
