Generally, you can file for divorce in either State, provided that you have lived in GA long enough to meet their residency requirements, or for FL, that FL was where you last lived together as husband and wife and your husband still lives there. However, if you still own real property together in FL or you have children together, FL may be the only State that has jurisdiction to determine those issues. If there are children, GA courts may decline to hear those child-related issues (e.g. custody, timesharing, child support, etc.) unless you and the children have resided in GA for a period of time longer than just enough to meet the residency requirements.
