If a person has been divorced for 10+ years and the ex-husband lives in a different state (where the divorce is filed) and has not been honoring this divorce decree? Will I have to retain an attorney in the state that the divorce is filed or can I hire one from my own state?

Generally, the State in which the divorce decree was entered maintains jurisdiction over the case, and any order thereto; given a showing of undue burden for the Court, it may relinquish its jurisdiction to another Court, but this is unlikely.

If you have been divorced for 10 years in a different state, you are divorced, it doesn't matter if he honors it or not. You can live in different states and get divorced.
