Answer: New Jersey acquires jurisdiction over your divorce action once you have resided in New Jersey for a year, so it is recommended that you file for divorce in New Jersey, in the county in which you reside.

New Jersey is where you will need to divorce. You must have lived in California for six months prior to filing for a divorce in California. It doesn't matter where you got married, only where you live when you get a divorce.
