Sure states recognize other state's judgments, but reciprocity and comity only go so far. Unless the laws of the land have dramatically changed, the state in which the marriage took place retains jurisdiction over the divorce. The answer to this question gets even more complicated if one of the parties still resides in the state where the marriage took place, if there are children, if they are assets or liabilities, etc.
