In order to file for divorce every State has a residency requirement. If you meet the requirements of residency, you can file in the State where you live, regardless of where you were married. In Michigan you must have resided a minimum of 6 months in the State of Michigan and 10 days in the County where you reside to file the Complaint for Divorce.

If you've been in your current state for sufficient time that it has jurisdiction you can file there, or you can file in the state she lives in. Check each state's rules on jurisdiction.
