Florida has a residence requirement whereby at least one of the parteis must live in the state for at least 6 months prior to filing for divorfce.
Unfortunately, since neither your wife nor you have lived in Florida for at least 6 months you cannot file for divorce in this state.

Mr. Mascali:
Unfortunately, in order to get divorced in Florida, at least one of the parties has to be living in Florida for at least 6 months prior to filiing. Since neither of you currenltly live in Florida you would not be able to obtain a divorce here.
