Divorce has nothing to do with where you were married. It has to do with whether you have resided in New Jersey for a year. If you have you can file for divorce in New Jersey.

You can be an illegal alien and still get divorced in NJ. May not make much sense, but it happens all of the time. I have handled many divorces where at least one of the parties is not a citizen. Its very common and never really an issue.
