Hello. I am going to be filing for divorce from my husband. We own a home and live in Michigan, but we were married in Wisconsin. Do I file Wisconsin papers, because that is where we were married, or MI, where we reside? I would truly appreciate an educated answer. (I know, call my attorney) My attorney is also his, so until I retain my own, I need to know the state issue. Thanks and god bless. : )

You file where you reside unless you just moved there. You have to see what your resident state's residency requirement is for filing for divorce...Generally if you were there longer than a year it is clear cut you file there.

Normally you file where you reside, however, there could be residential requirements like living there for 30 days or 6 months. Divorces are filed in a county office (the name of the office may vary by state) so contact them for answers to your questions until you get an attorney.

You file in the state of current residence.

Since you both reside in MI, you file in MI...

Get your own lawyer, an attorney should not ethically give advise to opposing parties in a divorce

generally you should file in the state you reside in, however, get your own attorney ASAP. this one will be looking out for whoever pays his fees, and I think that ain't you
