Both the United States and Mexico recognize marriages performed in other jurisdictions as long as the marriage was legal in the jurisdiction where it was performed. Both countries, however, reserve the right to reject a marriage which is "against public policy" (e.g., incestuous or polygamous marriages). As for same-sex marriages, they are recognized by Mexico and all Mexican states, but not by the federal government in the United States and not by most U.S. states.
Yes you can divorce a spouse that lives in Mexico if you are in the United States. The state you are in has jurisdiction. You will risk deportation because you will declare your legal status to the courts.
No, they are not legal residents of the US and cannot use US laws to change the status of their marriage.
The marriage is legal until the divorce is finalized.
It depends on the state you reside.
The real question here is, did you register your divorce in Mexico with the US embassy or councilate? If you did then you may have just found yourself in a legal bind. If the marriage in Mexico was never registered in the US then you are probably in the clear. Check it out with a lawyer just to be on the safe side.
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

I'm not totally sure what exactly you're asking- it sounds like you're asking if the US recognizes a legal marriage from Mexico. If that's the case, then yes, the US does recognize legal marriages that happen in other countries- it actually happens all the time, people get married at resorts in Mexico, Jamaica, and elsewhere in the Caribbean, even occasionally on cruise ships! This of course requires that the marriage was properly registered with the relevant local authorities. So you cannot legally marry another person until the Mexican marriage's divorce proceedings have finished.
no you are not.
No state of the US recognizes common law divorce.
Certainly, the US will recognize the due process of Ghana.
