Husband and Wife being Residents of two different states.

My husband and I are both retired and 58 years of age. I just bought a home in Florida. The home is under my name only. I will be living there about 7 months of the year. My hubby and I have a home in Wisconsin also. He wants to stay a resident of Wisconsin since he will be there at least 8 months of the year. Since I am going to be in Florida most of the time I want to be a Florida resident. Can you advise me if we can legally do this ? It will be beneficial for my hubby to stay a resident of Wisconsin because of the out of state costs of Fishing and hunting licenses. Can you advise me if we can be residents of two different states, I in Florida and My husband in Wisconsin?
