Provided you meet the residency requirements, you could file for divorce in Michigan. You must be a resident of Michigan for 6 months and the county where you file for at least 10 days. If you meet those requirements, you can file and have him served in Atlanta. He would have to respond here in Michigan but if you have only been married a short time, there should be nothing to argue over and the divorce should be quite simple.

If you have lived in Atlana more than six months then you should get an Atlanta lawyer and file there. If not, either wait until you have or file in Michigan.

You can file in Michigan once you have resided in the state for 6 months and the same county for 10 days, if you can't wait, you have to file in Atlanta.

File a divorce action in Michigan. Service will have to be made on him in Atlanta, but he will have to answer to the complaint filed here.
