    You and your wife are Chinese, you married in China, and your parents left you money in China? Then you need to be inquiring with a Chinese lawyer about (a) what rights your spouse might have under Chinese law and (b) how to make sure that China accepts the validity of a California divorce.

    But my wife is US citizen now. Do we go by the California divorce law or by the country where the marriage original filed.

    If you both want to get divorced in California, and you live in California, you can get divorced in California. But the issue of how China will treat a California divorce judgment is a matter of Chinese law.
