' t.fr- When Is a Residence Not a Residence? Nevada Divorce Invalidation Raises Question What does it take to remove your "residence" from Oregon? That was one of the points at stake in litigation which resulted this week in an Oregon supreme court decision which held unani mously that Nevada divorces are void in Oregon unless the spouse getting the divorce actually becomes a resident of Nevada.

CtSa IS? crb This affirmed a circuit court de cision which had invalidated Kel ley's divorce earlier and awarded the wife, Anna Kelley. a legal separation and $10 month ly support money. Both courts averred that Kelley had gone to Nevada and lived there three months for the sole purpose of obtaining the divorce. In the supreme court ruling was cited a previous decision of that court which had stated that change of domicile requires (1) residence elsewhere, 2y intent to abandon the old domicile and (3) intent to acquire a new domicile. The supreme court decision on the Kelley case stated, "It is es sential to the validity of a di vorce case that at least one of the parties had a domicile in the state which granted the decree." In the Kelley instance, the court pointed out, he had re tained his Portland apartment and kept his Union Pacific rail road job while in Nevada, took only a few of his personal be longings with him to Reno and also maintained at that time a f Portland insurancJjMStnes. which i he owned and -operated ;WTart.
