    Husband and wife lived in New Jersey for approximately 20 years. Eight months ago wife moved to Tennessee and husband moved to Florida. Where would wife file for divorce? The case involves only equitable distribution. The parties are both quite elderly and infirm.

    She has no choice but to file in Florida where he resides as TN has no in personam jurisdiction over him.
