    So you are on F-2... your legal status would be ended as soon as your divorce is final.
    You can file the divorce at any court in US, and while waiting for divorce decree, you should file for a change of status to other type of non-immigrant visa, or you must leave the country as soon as the divorce is final.

    You can remarry in US as long as you maintain your legal status, otherwise you would need an immigration attorney.
