I wish to inform you that divorce can be filed in the state where either of the party resides. In this regard you may file divorce in your state or your spouse state. As you have just shifted to Tennessee thus it may be difficult for you to show residence in this state and therefore divorce can be filed in the state of your spouse. For residence you are required to show that you stay in the residence for 6 months.

You will not meet Florida's residency requirement to file in Florida in the time period you wish. Your wife will have to file in the state she is residing in, providing she meets the residency requirements -- OR you may file for divorce in Nevada. They have no waiting period. Grounds include being separated for at least one year which you more than meet.

Nevada does as much divorce business almost as gambling. My suggestion is that you seek a divorce in Nevada. When there are children involved there is a mandatory counseling session. However, one may seek a waiver of this requirement.

There is a lot of information online about getting a Nevada divorce as well as lawyers who can advise and handle the matter for you if you wish.
