90 Day Fiance: Jonathan And Fernanda’s Divorce – What’s The Hold-Up?

90 Day Fiance stars Jonathan Rivera and Fernanda Flores may have gone their separate ways but that doesn’t mean they’re completely out of each other’s lives. The former couple made it clear that they’ve moved on from each other but things are yet to be legally over between them.

While it’s true that Jonathan Rivera already expressed his desire to divorce Fernanda Flores, the process has yet to push through. So what’s the hold-up?

90 Day Fiance: Jonathan Rivera & Fernanda Flores Haven’t Filed For Divorce Yet

With a failed marriage and apparent bad blood between them, many expected that they will end up filing for divorce after 90 Day Fiance. However, Jonathan Rivera and his bride Fernanda Flores have yet to officially take that path yet.

This leads to many questions as to what exactly is the hold-up. Are Jonathan and Fern not yet ready to legally end their marriage? Or are there other aspects preventing them from doing it just yet?

Is This The Reason Why?

Fans were quick to come up with theories as to why the divorce is still not happening. Many pointed out that Fernanda Flores and Jonathan Rivera have yet to meet the grounds for divorce in North Carolina.

Fans of 90 Day Fiance will remember Fernanda Flores tying the knot with Jonathan in his hometown. The couple also lived there together before calling it quits in December 2018.

Apparently, one of the two grounds for Absolute Divorce in the state of North Carolina involves a specific amount of time that a couple separated. It is required that the married couple has lived separately for one year and never showed any marital relationship towards each other before they can file for divorce.

It is also noted that one of the spouses must be a resident of North Carolina for six months prior to the filing of the divorce. 90 Day Fiance followers have posted that Jonathan and Fernanda have yet to meet all the requirements.

Jonathan Rivera has been living NC for years, so residency is not an issue. However, he and Fernanda have only been separated for a few months. They have to wait at least ten more months before they can actually petition to end their marriage legally.
