I want to get divorced so my healthier spouse is free to move on with living and not have to be my care giver. We have two homes, and income to take of ourselves. We are able to remain friends. It is a second divorce for me- disabled spouse, and first for healthy younger spouse.

Well, short answer is "maybe neither." Neither place of marriage nor place of personal property is the test for eligibility to file for divorce; your question is residency.

You need to get divorced in the state that has jurisdiction over the both of you and your property. That is usually the state in which you reside (and most states have some residency requirements for jurisdiction). You need to determine if you are in a state that has fault based requirements or waiting periods. A consult with an attorney in the state where you reside would be a good idea.
