Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Divorce Non-US Citizen

I am in the military and married a Spanish National while stationed in Spain in 1999. I am currently stationed in Maryland, however, my official residence is New York. Who has jurisdiction over my divorce? Can I request to waive the residency requirement in Maryland? How should I proceed with this divorce. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
