Q. We are filing Married filing joint for federal, but for state I don't want to pay taxes to a state I didn't live in. How should we go about filing our state taxes?
A. You, most likely, should file as Married Filing Jointly on the two state returns. You will not pay any tax, on your income, to her former state. As the other reply said, your income may get reported on the other return, but it won't get taxed.
That's the general answer. For more specific advice, identify the two states.
