Yes. I am not sure from your question whether you, a CA resident, would be filing for divorce in another state or whether your ex-spouse is filing for divorce in another state. Either way, divorces filed in other state are valid so long as they comport with the divorce laws of that particular state. One of the main requirements in most jurisdictions is a residency requirement, so that the person seeking divorce must be a legal resident of the state before he or she can obtain a divorce there. Put differently, you or your ex-spouse (whichever one is filing for the divorce) must be a resident of the state they are filing for the divorce in. However, this requirement is sometimes quite short, as low as six weeks.

If you were married in Las Vegas and live in Florida can you file for divorce in Florida?

A judgment of dissolution of marriage may not be entered unless one of the parties to the marriage has been a resident of this state (CA) for six months and of the county in which the proceeding is filed for three months next preceding the filing of the petition.? If you are a resident of CA, you file in CA. "The most common mistake people make is believing they must divorce in the state in which they were married. This is simply not true. Most divorce cases throughout the United States are filed in the county in which the filing spouse resides." So, in short, you file for divorce in the state you have residency in. If you just moved and do not have residency, you can wait out the residency period of the state you are in and then file if you so choose. That means you can attempt to establish residency in Clark County, Nevada if you want to file for divorce there. Nevada's residency laws are more lenient than that of California.

If there is an appeal pending on divorce is the divorce final?

No. The appeal is the answer from your spouse for your filing for divorce. A divorce in CA takes 6 months for a basic no fault divorce and with no other problems. Since CA is a community property state you need to settle all the assests in the marriage. Your divorce isn't final until you get the final signed court papers.
