More details to this question:
I am a US citizen and got married in Australia last year. I want to divorce my wife. I know her address and I have the marriage certificate with me too. The problem is she doesn't want to divorce me. We have no kids, nothing together. We only lived together for 3 months.

Yes, as long as you have lived here for 180 days and in a county for 10 days.

You certainly can but it will probably require the help of an attorney. You can have your wife served by a registered process server there and there are procedures under California law for serving her by mail.

Yes, you can at least try to seek a dissolution of the marriage here in the U.S. if you can find and have your wife served with the divorce court documents in Australia.

You will need to "effectuate service of process" on her. If she is unwilling to "sign" for the paperwork via mail, then you may have to hire an International Service of Process company to serve her in Australia. Of, if you have a friend or family member who lives near her, perhaps they would agree to serve her, which would save you a ton of money.
