If my wife lives in one state and I live in another state and we were married in a different state, how would we be able to get a divorce?

Divorce lawyer at The Law Firm of Jessica M. Cotter, P.L.L.C.
Generally speaking each state has its own residency requirement for the filing of a dissolution action. In Arizona if a party has resided in the state for 90 days that individual may file a petition for dissolution. The more difficult question may revolve around property or the appropriate jurisdiction for entry of orders regarding children You should consult with an experienced family law attorney in your area to review jurisdiction questions.

Do I keep my house I purchased before the marriage?

If the house was purchased with money you had before you got married, it is your separate property but you will owe your wife some reimbursement for payments made on it during the marriage. It doesn't really matter how title is held if both of your money was used to acquire the house.

A divorce order affects the rights of the parties between themselves but does not change the rights of creditors. That means if you signed for a debt, the creditor can come after you for payment even though the divorce orders say your ex is to pay the debt. Your recourse is to sue your ex to enforce the order and that is frequently not a very good remedy.
