In California, the proper venue to file for dissolution is the county you resided in during the past three (or more) months prior to filing the action. A person should not file in the county they were married in unless they still live there and/or meet the three month rule.

You file where you currently have residency. In most circumstances, it takes six months of living there before you have residency and the court obtains jurisdiction over your marriage. It does not matter where you were married, where you reside is what matters.

You must reside in Texas for more than 6 months and in the county where you file the suit for 90 days prior to filing the divorce. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

If you are in Michigan, you would file in the county where you reside or the county where your spouse resides. You (or your spouse)?must be a resident of the county for at least 10 days prior to filing there.
