No. You have to file in that state, but you might could file in any county in Maryland that you would like.

I may be wrong, but my understanding is that you file for divorce in the state you currently reside (and meet the residency time required by that state, usually a year). It does not have to be the state in which you were married - if you no longer reside there. Check with your local court house for residency requirements for divorce actions. Also, go on line to a Maryland State website and find out what the state requires of parties filing for divorce. It shouldn't be too hard to get the answers you need. Good Luck!
