You have to live in the state in which you get divorced.

The best approach might be to agree, with your spouse, to Mediate the issue. Mediation is Fast, Effective and Affordable. Try not to get the Court involved in deciding the issue because one never knows which way the Court will rule.

IN most states you need to establish residency before you file for divorce. It varies from state to state.

There is no open case or custody orders so you can move wherever you want. As far as having a case in another state you have to meet that state's residency requirements before filing for divorce in that state.

You need to confirm the residency requirements of the State you want to move to. For example, in Michigan, you must be a resident for 180 days, and a resident of the County where you file for at least 10 days, before you can start the Divorce Action.

Jurisdiction for divorce is determined by the residence of the parties and children. If there is no court action yet you could move and while doe the residency period, than file there. He however can file in the state of his residency before you. First place of filing has jurisdiction. You could also file where you are currently and seek permission to move. Confer with a lawyer!
