Whatever state where you are 1) currently a legal resident or 2) where you USED to live, IF you still can get jurisdiction in that state. Call and ask an attorney from the previous state if jurisdiction is still possible, based on your specific circumstances.

No. You don't have to file even in the same country you were married in.

However, most U.S. states have a residency requirement for divorce. That means, you must live in the state where you file for a divorce for a minimum amount of time before you can file there (usually one year).

Also, in the case of a same-sex marriage, you must file for divorce in a state where your marriage is legally recognized - - not necessarily the same state where you were married, but one of the states where same-sex marriages are recognized. Again, you will most likely have to satisfy a residency requirement.

No. All states recognize a marriage or divorce granted in another state. And for a chuckle: People get married in the state of bliss, and get divorced in the state of anger.
