The answer to this depends on whether you or your spouse now live in North Carolina long enough to establish residency. This typically takes between 6 months and a year and if that is the case then you are able to file in either state. If not, then you must file for divorce in NJ

Provided you have establish residency in NY, you can file there. After making a "valid" attempt to locate and serve him, you can file a request with the court to use a newspaper announce in NC. This will need to be placed in each of the major newspapers in NC.
