You can file for divorce in Florida if at least one of the parties has resided in the State of Florida for at least 6 months prior to the filing of the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage.

What state did they last reside in as husband and wife? That is probably the best state to see a family attorney in concerning an uncontested divorce.
