Generally speaking the jurisdiction where you would file the dissolution is where you have resided for the required period of time. In Arizona you must reside for at least 90 days prior to filing for the dissolution. Other states have other time periods, so I suggest you consult with an experienced family law attorney to determine you time frame. You certainly file for the dissolution where you reside, not where you were married.

You file for dissolution in the county where you currently reside, provided you have lived in California for six months and the county for 3 months. If you do not meet the residency requirements you can wait or first file for legal separation to be amended to a dissolution petition once residency is established.

In most states you need to file where you live now. There is usually a period time you need to have lived in a state to file.

To file for divorce in Arizona, you have to reside her at least 90 days. It is unclear whether you meet jurisdictional requirements to file elsewhere.
