If you want to file in FL you have to wait until December 3, 2016.

You would either have to file in the other state, or wait until you have established jurisdiction in Florida by waiting the six months. Consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation and your options.

You should probably file in the State from where you moved. Florida does require residency to file for divorce.

Talk to a lawyer. You may be able to get support/custody issues dealt with now without having to wait for 6 months, and that is really the only urgent reason you would have. No one can tell you how to file for a divorce before state law allows it.

You don't do that because the case will be dismissed. Get to an attorney for a full discussion about this.
