More details to this question:
I currently live in Utah, but I’m moving back to California at the end of July. I want to file for divorce, but I’m not sure which state is better for me? We have one son 17 years old until December, but he still has to finish his last year of school.

Where you live is where the petition should be filed. The only exception is if your husband lives in CA. The petition in CA requires that you have lived in the State for 6 months and the county where you are filing for 3.

You have to live in a state for 6 months before you can file for divorce. Decisions about your son should be in Utah unless you wait to file. Courts would probably order your son finish high school where he is.
