There is no easy answer to this question and it really depends on the circumstances of the case. The most overriding factor is going to be the location of the children. Generally speaking the state that has jurisdiction over the children will take the case, but not always. Second is the location of any property. If the parties lived in Florida all their lives and have homes and cars and what-have-you in Florida but the husband only recently established jurisdiction in Michigan, the Michigan Court may be persuaded to decline hearing the case and transfer it to Florida. But again, this isn't always the case. Third, the court is going to consider the circumstances of the case. If the wife has moved to Florida to avoid abuse, Florida may take the case. There are a host of other factors the court may consider but the best answer to this question is...it depends.
