To get divorced in FL you must be a resident of FL for 6 months prior to the filing of the petition for dissolution. This would be demonstrated by a driver license. Since your driver license is from Mississippi you would need to bring a residence witness to testify at the final hearing. The witness needs to be somebody who knows you have been a resident of FL for 6 months prior to filing for divorce. However, since your husband lives in IL and has no connection to FL you would only be able to get divorced and no other relief can be granted.
