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.
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.

Do you have to get a divorce in England to marry a Muslim in Algeria?
Assuming that you have a legal heterosexual marriage in the UK (that has government certification), that marriage will be recognized in Algeria. As a result, in order to marry an Algerian, you will need to get a divorce. If you have a same-sex marriage in the UK, you will not need to get a divorce in the UK to marry the Muslim in Algeria, but that marriage will not be recognized in the UK (because you would now be married to two people contemporaneously). If you are not married in the UK, then, obviously, you will not need a divorce to get married.
