A: File for divorce first where you live in Ohio. Do not delay and allow him to file first in Montana. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local divorce attorney who can review all the facts, advise you about the divorce, and get it filed ASAP.
A: Did you and he live in Ohio together during the marriage? If so, yes, file for divorce here and seek temporary child and spousal support. Did you live with your husband in Montana? If not,he may not be able to file there, but I don't know Montana law.
