Actually, you can get a divorce in either state, so long as both you and your spouse have established legal residency in your repsective locations. Typically, it requires living in a state for 6 or more months but this requirement varies among jurisdictions. At this point, you should consult directly with an attorney in your area. They can help you determine which state is most favorable for you to file in.
