More details here are needed.  Why are you in Australia and is your spouse with you for starters.  In order to file for divorce in the US you need to meet residency requirements for the state in which you file PRIOR to filing.  I would speak with an attorney here in detail. Good luck.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
