You get divorced where you live. So file in FL.
Good luck to you.

As long as you meet the residency requirements for FL, you can get divorced in FL, and the divorce would be considered legally valid anywhere in the US.

Whether the divorce would be considered valid in Venezuela is beyond the scope of this board, however.
