Re: divorce

You can file for dissolution. You would have to determine whether you would rather file in Indiana or South Dakota as both courts have jurisdiction.

If there is no battle over the house and belongings, Indiana would be preferred for you.

If there is going to be a battle, then S.D. may be the better jurisdiction as enforcement of the order will become an issue.

Good luck
