most jurisdictions have some type of residency requirement that has to be met in order for the jurisdiction to grant a divorce. In Canada you or your spouse have to have been ordinarily resident in the province in which you are seekig the divorce, for 12 months. However each jurisdiction will have it's own requirements. You should seek legal advice in your locality.

No. You don't have to file even in the same state 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.
