In the U.S., place of marriage is not relevant to where a divorce should and could be filed. See the explanation and materials posted at http://willicklawgroup.com/grounds-and-jurisdiction/.
So if you have been here for 6 weeks, you can file here. However, you may (or may not) be able to deal with all issues in the case in a case filed here. See the explanation in the article posted on that web page called "The Basics of Family Law Jurisdiction."
Then, if you have any further questions, feel free to call to discuss the matter.
