Thank you for your question. I understand how difficult this time must be for you.
The short answer is that provided one party has been living in New Jersey for at least a year, you can file for divorce in New Jersey. However, there certainly can be specifics involved and each matter is different. You need specific answers to protect yourself and I would strongly suggest that you schedule a consultation with a family law attorney who has experience with New Jersey divorces, so that you can understand the implications for you before filing for divorce.
I hope you found this information helpful.

He can't, but you can if you've continuously lived in NJ for more than a year.
