I believe he can file in either County, and may want to look into the laws of community property and spousal support in each by contacting lawyers in each place. If it appears there may be significant court appearances (disagreements over custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, division of assets, division of debts), then he may want to consider which forum will be easier for him to attend court hearings. His wife may also move to have the case heard where she lives, if that is one of the places that he could have filed, so it may cause delay if he makes it inconvenient for her. There are many factors to consider and he should consult an attorney to discuss the exact situation.
