No. The court with proper jurisdiction over a divorce is the state where the person filing the divorce has resided for at least 6 months and in the county where you've lived for at least 10 days. If there are children involved, then the divorce should be handled in the state where the children reside, as the other state would only be able to grant a divorce, and not enter judgment as to anything regarding the children. Please contact me for a consultation as I can definitely assist you with advising you how the process works, where you need to file, and, if it is Michigan, I can represent you. Thanks.
