Contrary to the trial court’s conclusion that a spouse who is a foreign national cannot establish the requisite residency for the purpose of dissolution of marriage, this court in Nicolas v. Nicolas, 444 So.2d 1118 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), held that a spouse can do so. We reverse the trial court’s order dismissing the petition for dissolution on the authority of Nicolas and remand for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded.
