If both parties are resident's of different states and both have filed for divorce in their respective states. They have property in both states. How is jurisdiction established?
Answer
Both states will have different jurisdictional laws. If minor children are involved, there is a specific procedure to determine which state is the proper state for litigation. If there are no minor children involved, the two judges can make the decision.
In either event, different courts will have in rem jurisdiction over the property and they might also have personal jurisdiction of one or both parties. It's a relatively complex issue which ought to be looked about by an experienced family law attorney. You can read more at:
