You can file a divorce case in Kentucky, as long as you have lived there sufficient time to satisfy the residency requirement in that state to qualify to file such a case.

Check with a lawyer in Kentucky. You can get divorced there or you can get divorced in the county where your husband lives. If neither of you live in the country where you got married, you can do nothing there. Divorce jurisdiction is based upon residency.
