Legal Question in Family Law in California

Divorcing in California after being married Abroad

I am a US Citizen who married my wife 5 years ago and brought her to live in CA where we have been residing since 2003 . We are now seeking a divorce. My question is: Can I file for the divorce here in California or is it neccesary for me to file for it in that country? Or do I have to file in both places? Please advise.
