You must live in a state for 6 months for that state to be the proper venue.  Moreover, if there are assets here in PA, courts have held that is the best place for a case to be filed.  You can file here in PA and you may not have to go to court.  Rather, it may all be handled simply by filing documents, which an attorney can do for you in PA. I trust that answers your question, but feel free to call or e-mail me with anything else on a free initial basis.  

You don't provide enough information to answer your question. Depending on what kind of retirement you are dealing with, it may be necessary to have the court enter what is commonly called a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) if it is a private retirement plan or another type of qualifying order if it is a government retirement plan. Because those types of orders can be quite complicated you need to contact an attorney who has expertise and experience in preparing these kinds of order for a judge to sign. Once there is a signed order, it must be sent to the plan administrator for approval according the plan rules.
