You can file for divorce in New Jersey as long as you or your ex-husband live there now. If not, then you can file in California or any state that either of you live. When a party to a marriage has moved it makes sense to try to file for divorce in the state you moved to because it is much more convenient! That being said, if your ex lives in another state make sure you file first if the location of the divorce is important to you.

Absolutely. Many, many divorces occur in a different state from where the marriage did.

Some people even go to other states for a divorce because their divorce laws allow for a faster divorce than the state where they reside.
