I got married in Colorado and filed for and got divorced in California but we both were in CA. at the time of the divorce. The safest route is call a lawyer that offers a free consultation and they can answer that for you.

I am a paralegal and I work for an Attorney who handles Divorces in Missouri. I was married in Pennsylvania in 1981 and divorced my husband when I moved to Missouri in 1992, you can live in any state, file there and then your spouse would be served in the other state. Laws maybe different in each state so check with an Attorney to see how long you have to be a resident before you can file for the divorce.

if you have moved to another state, some states will let you file for divorce but you have to be a resident for 6 months in that state
