In Arizona the dissolution action may be brought in either county. If you are in agreement on all of the issues in the dissolution then you may use the consent decree of dissolution which, if done properly, does not require a court appearance from either of you. There is also another track for a dissolution which would only require one of you to appear.

See Utah Code Section 30-3-1(2): (2) The court may decree a dissolution of the marriage contract between the petitioner and respondent on the grounds specified in Subsection (3) in all cases *where the petitioner or respondent has been an actual and bona fide resident of this state and of the county where the action is brought*, or if members of the armed forces of the United States who are not legal residents of this state, where the petitioner has been stationed in this state under military orders, for three months next prior to the commencement of the action. This means that if you and your spouse resided in different counties in the same state, you can file for divorce either in the county in which you reside or the county in which your spouse resides.
