Re: Divorce question

West Virginia law applies to your situation since that's where you are now living. Most likely you will have to appear in court for a final hearing, but WV may have provisions that allow you to testify from afar if no one objects and there are no contested issues. You should contact a lawyer in your area specializing in family law for details.
