  Technically, the divorce is to be filed at the location the parties last resided as husband and wife.  It seems that she did live here in Florida at one time so the courts would have jurisdiction over her.  You would still have to have her served in India-may be a process- unless she agrees and is willing to waive service.  If this is going to be an agreed-no fighting- divorce, you can probably get a settlement agreement in advance and then file here for the divorce.  Only one party has to be present. You would benefit from consulting an attorney.  I've seen too many people try to do this, and then spend more with a lawyre later trying to fix it.  Best of luck, Cindy S.
