So long as you are a resident of the county and state where you reside and wish to divorce your husband, you can file a petition for dissolution in your local county court house where you seek spousal support. Once the petition and summons are filed and issued, he will need to be served with such.

Given the situation that you have written about, it may be best that you consult with a family law attorney to assist you in your endeavor.
