Thanks for using Avvo. I am an Avvo Staff Moderator. To read more about our moderation team, follow the link below. Our current question volume may increase the response times of our loyal Avvo lawyer-answerers. My goal is to give you some preliminary information and guidance regarding your legal situation while you wait for an attorney in your area to respond.

As a general rule you do not have to return to the jurisdiction where you got married to get a divorce. Attached is a link to the New York State Court System Family Law Page with some information on the divorce process. I strongly recommend that you contact a family law attorney in your local area. Good luck.
