It will probably be better to in order to make court appearances and work with your lawyer on motions. Talk to your attorney about your particular circumstances after you have filed for divorce. It may be easier for you to remain a resident while you go through the process but every situation is different. If your work or family commitments take you some place else and require you to be somewhere else, then you should pursue it but make sure you are constantly in communication to ensure you do not miss court dates or specific filings.
