Is it possible to have another state's divorce brought to another state because you are no longer a legal resident of the state where you filed for the divorce? (I live and have been a legal resident of Ohio for six months now but my divorce proceedings have been/are in Michigan).
 
No, if you filed in Michigan and move before the divorce is decreed, you'll have to refile anew in Ohio.
But, to do that, file in Ohio; your spouse must also reside in Ohio.
You're probably better off finalizing the Michigan proceedings, if your spouse still resides in Michigan.
That's the simple version, assuming your spouse is in one of two states.
If your spouse moves to Montana, (for example) that opens another can of worms.
I suggest you discuss your options, based on your unique situation with an Ohio lawyer.
The initial consultation is normally free of charge.
