Can a CA resident get a divorce in another state?
Yes. I am not sure from your question whether you, a CA resident, would be filing for divorce in another state or whether your ex-spouse is filing for divorce in another state. Either way, divorces filed in other state are valid so long as they comport with the divorce laws of that particular state. One of the main requirements in most jurisdictions is a residency requirement, so that the person seeking divorce must be a legal resident of the state before he or she can obtain a divorce there. Put differently, you or your ex-spouse (whichever one is filing for the divorce) must be a resident of the state they are filing for the divorce in. However, this requirement is sometimes quite short, as low as six weeks.

Is there any kind of suit for adultry in cailf?
if one spouse files suit for divorce against the other, she may be in for a long wait. While state law permits a no-fault divorce, couples who agree to part ways must remain separated for at least 1 year before filing for divorce on "no fault" grounds. After 2 years apart, either spouse can get a divorce for any reason. But filing on certain grounds allows the petitioning spouse to have her case heard expeditiously--and one of these grounds is if she claims that her husband is engaged in an adulterous relationship (the other is on grounds of cruelty).
Divorce and effects of chapter 7 on non filing spouse?
Generally speaking, when one spouse files for bankruptcy, the non-filing spouse should not be effected by this because they are only filing as to their individual debts. They are still obligated to the joint debts they share with you. Additionally, if you are in the process of a divorce the fact that one has filed for bankruptcy does not extinguish his duties to pay the divorce settlement, child support, alimony, etc.
