Residency Requirements for No-Fault Divorce

I'm considering divorcing my husband of one year - irreconcilable differences would be the grounds. We moved to Mass in August. Do I need to wait 1 year before filing or are there exceptions to the 1 year residency rule? Thanks.

Divorce in MA

If you read this thread, you will see it is not entirely accurate to say there is a one year residency requirement for a divorce in MA.  Rather, the issue often depends on where the grounds for divorce occurred.
