If there are children involved, you need to file where the children have lived the past 6 months. If there are no children, but there is real property, then you should file where the real property is located. If there are no children, and there is no real property, then you can file in either Nevada or Maryland. However, if you file in Nevada, your spouse may be able to claim a lack of personal jurisdiction and/or an inconvenient forum. You may wish to discuss this with your spouse. If you can agree to the terms of a divorce, you can get it done much faster in Nevada (as we allow "no fault" divorces).
