You can get a divorce in Florida, because she lives there, or you can get a divorce where you live, which I understand to be Alabama.  If you have just moved to Alabama from Georgia, you may have to wait, since there is a six-month residency requirement which you will have to prove.

You should be able to find do-it-yourself forms and instructions on the internet.  The least expensive way to get a divorce, with or without a lawyer, is if your spouse cooperates.  But if she is not willing to cooperate, and you value your own time at all, hiring a lawyer may be your best bet.  You can find divorce lawyers in your area several different ways, including our website, http://attorneypages.com
