Do you need to get a divorce in the same country that you got married in?
No. However, most countries (and states) have a residency requirement for divorce. That means, you must live in the country (and probably the state) where you file for a divorce for a minimum amount of time before you can file there (usually one year in the United States). Also, in the case of a same-sex marriage, you must file for divorce in a country (and state, in the U.S.) where your marriage is legally recognized - - not necessarily the same country (or state) where you were married, but one of the countries (and states) where same-sex marriages are recognized. Again, you will most likely have to satisfy a residency requirement.

You can file for a divorce any time after you are married. But more likely you want an annulment. Laws vary from state to state and country to country, but if you were married against your will or somehow forced into the marriage, odds are you can get it annulled. This is not the same as a divorce; it would be as if you were never married. Don't wait around; talk to a lawyer ASAP.

How can an American same-sex couple who married in Canada obtain a divorce?
The partner(s) who wishes to be divorced must find a jurisdiction in which: (a) the same-sex marriage is recognized; and, (b) the partner meets the residency requirement. For example, if the married couple lives in New York State, they can get a divorce in New York State, the same as an opposite-sex couple. If the married couple lives in Texas, at least one partner will need to move to a state where the marriage is legally recognized, live there for the minimum amount of time required by that state's divorce statute (for example, one year), then file for divorce in the new state. After that, the actual procedure is the same as for opposite-sex couples.
