I need more facts in regards to where the case was filed, whether you were served, whether there is an open California case, how long your wife lived in another state etc.

I don't understand what your situation is. If she obtained a judgment against you it's probably valid in that State and if she registers it in California it's probably valid here.

If you were served with the initial petition and failed to respond, then yes, any orders and/or Judgments would be binding on you.
