No, it is not necessary to return to Mexico to get a legal divorce in California. As long as you have lived for at least three months in any California county and six months in California the family law court has jurisdiction to grant a divorce. It is assumed that that you were legally married in Mexico and are in fact married under Mexican law.

No. You can get divorced in the county where you are a resident.
