A person from Mexico that is currently here in the US and would like to get a divorce from a spouse in Mexico can file for a divorce. They must provide:name of spouse he/she would like to divorce still in Mexico, address, and provide information on how long applicant(person filing for the divorce in U.S.) has been in the U.S. with documentation like a ITIN, used for tax purpose and were the applicant works. Can be done without a lawyer, but the correct paper work has to be file and make an appointment to come in front of a judge.
AnswerHowever, if the person is a tourist and is not a legal resident of any US state, he/she cannot get divorced in the US.You would start the the divorce preceedings. If you know where the person lives in Mexico then you would send the papers to them via the mail with signature confirmation to prove that they were served. If the person does not respond within so many weeks or months then the divorce will still go through. If you do not know where they live then you can also post an ad in the newspaper looking for that person - this shows that you are attempting to locate the person, and if they still do not respond then the divorce with still go through.
However, if the marriage was performed in Mexico, the divorce decree must have an official translation into Spanish, have an astillo issued by the Secretary of State in the state where you obtain the divorce, and MUST be "attached" to the marriage license at the Civil Registry in the state of Mexico where it was performed.
The U.S. citizen files divorce proceedings in the U.S. county where he or she lives and the fact that the defendant is a Mexican citizen does not prevent the plaintiff from obtaining a judgment of divorce. If the Mexican spouse is not physically present in the United States, that will make it more difficult to serve necessary court papers, but not impossible.

No, Mexican citizens can't get divorced in California if they were married in Mexico. One of the parties would need to be an American citizen.
Definitely Yes. As long as at least one party meets the Texas residency requirements, both parties are aware of the divorce, and the respondent has been properly served, the divorce can be consummated in Texas.
Consult a Divorce lawyer in the US. Get an Uncontested Divorce and stay out of Mexico.
I really think you can not file a divorce in Mexico while you are residing in the US. Mexican law determines that you must reside in there so Mexican Courts are competent. (Jurisdiction Matter). I am not sure about American law.AnswerYou have to go back to Mexico to file for divorce. Be very careful that you get your information together and that you do a search on reputable lawyers (not some back alley lawyer) in Mexico. Good luckMarcy
"Mexican" is a nationality-- a Mexican is a citizen of Mexico.
Usually a person files for divorce in their current resident state. If your Mexican marriage is recognized as legal by the U.S. then you will have to file in America if that is where you are living
