A couple can file their uncontested divorce in either the wife or husbands state/county of legal residence. If the wife files in her state, she will have to petition for the divorce. If the husband files in his state, he will have to be the petitioner. If they are both residents of the same county, either of them can be the petitioner. The other spouse will be the respondent.
