Not enough facts -- you do not indicate who was living where, when, and how the parties all got to their current locations. This is relevant to determining where a case must be filed. For a more complete explanation, see the materials posted at

See the article called "The Basics of Family Law Jurisdiction" posted at the same page.
If you "have no idea how to go about this," you should probably review the posted information, and then have a full consultation with a family law specialist, either in this office or some other, before making any decisions.
