Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Thomas Barkdull, III, Judge; L.T. Case No. 502010DR001525XXXXMB.
Curt Sanchez and Ross Baer of The Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County, Inc., West Palm Beach, for appellant. No appearance for appellee.
DAMOORGIAN, C.J.

Appellant, Marina Yadira Padilla, appeals the trial court's final order dismissing her petition for dissolution of marriage for lack of jurisdiction. We reverse because the record before us established that the Appellant resided in the state six months before the filing of the petition as required by section 61.021, Florida Statutes (2012). See Rudel v. Rudel, 111 So.3d 285, 290 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013).

Reversed. GERBER and LEVINE, JJ., concur.
