You can get divorced whereever you live, not where you got married. Where you got married has nothing to do with where you get divorced. Bill Stern 248-353-9400

I would need to know is your marital domicile meaning "where you have established marital residency" to answer your question. However, you will need to file only in one State only. You may contact me through e-mail [email protected].

You can only file for divorce in the state where you reside. Usually time limit/residency requirement. Not sure why you have two marriage licenses, however, one divorce should suffice. Don Holben 800-685-6950
