The parent with custody should file in their own state; Otherwise you would have action in two states; one for the divorce and one for custody. You would file in your State and serve the summons and Petition to the other spouse by certified mail or by having the other spouse sign a notice and acknowledgement and receipt form.

You can file in the state where either party is a legal resident.
