Hello, 

I  was married abroad in my home county with a US citizen, then received my green card. After some time we divorced here in the US because of incompatibility and cultural issues. I recently filed for citizenship under the 5 years rule. I’m still considered married legally in my home country since I only divorced here in the US, but I never filed to divorce there.
my question is: 

Will IO deny my n400 at the interview because I’m still married in my home country where the the original marriage happened? Or being divorced here in the US is enough? 
I can take My US divorce paper to my home country and file for divorce there too, and make it official there too, which I will do when I come back to visit again. 

Thank you for your help

This is enough.
 

No need to divorce in multiple countries. As long as your divorce is legal in the State it happened, uscis will accept it. They won't ask for you marital condition in your other country.

Your divorce in the US is legally acceptable by USCIS so you should have no issues.
