Yes, you can file for a divorce in CA. It's probably best if you speak with a local attorney.

Did you sign a form when she entered the country agreeing that you would support her? If so, you can be forced to support her indefinitely. I believe it would be an i-864 or I-134 form. If you signed a form like that, you will definitely need to see an attorney to see if you can get it voided due to fraud on her part, but it's not likely. You may be stuck supporting her.

What I don't get is why he is assuming that she married him only to get to the US to study. She could have easily obtained a student visa. She didn't have to marry anyone to do that.

Thanks for replying. Everything was good and during marriage there was small mis understandings between elders and she took that serious and used to torcher me saying I dont like you becuase you have not supported me during marriage and for smal things , if I am not supporting she used take those and used to tell bad words about me and my parents.

THis caused her ego clashes and took that decision and she clearly told that was her dream and I want to full fill that becuase you are not my ultimate husband.
