Re: Whose Divorce Laws Do We Follow?

The state you file your divorce in must have jurisdiction, first of all. New York clearly has jurisdiction, because you meet whatever residency requirement they have.
If you've never lived in Nevada, they don't have jurisdiction.
So, the quick answer, as between those two states, is New York.
It doesn't matter that you were not married in New York.
