You can file where you currently live but if your wife has never lived there then you may have a problem with the Long Arm Statute. Use of a lawyer is recommended.

There are some rules that may help you, but unfortunately you will probably need an attorney. Usually a pregnant Wife from another man is grounds for expediting the divorce. You DO NOT want to be married to her when the child is born, Florida law assumes the Husband is the Father of the child, making you responsible for child support.

You have touched upon a very complicated area of the law and must retain an attorney. The proper venue is usually where the couple last resided together as husband and wife. Her being pregnant from another man is the complex part of this, and either she will admit that another man had access to her or it must be proven so that you are not deemed the legal father of the child and forced to pay child support.
