    The divorce is separate from the custody. You have established residency in AZ so file there.

    I went through legal aid services here they told me that I would have to file there because of my ex having custody of my daughter

    I would think that legal aid would know this.

    Why don't you contact legal aid in Washington and ask them ?

    Are trying to fight or change the custody as part of the divorce? If yes, then you have to file where the child is. If not, you file where you live.

    Your mother-in-law has custody of your daughter. Where do the MIL & your daughter live? A court in what state awarded her custody?
