The basic forms that need to be filed in a divorce are the names, date of birth, date of marriage, names of children from this marriage. One also has to state reasons for the divorce, like for example cruel and abusive treatment, or adultery.

Yes. Stopping a divorce is a possibility when both parties decide that they wish to stay married when the judgment has not been finalized. Most states have a waiting period from the time that the divorce is filed to the time that it is finalized by the court. For example, in California there is a 6 month waiting period. What you need to do is to see what stage your divorce proceedings are in and then you will need to file some type of revocation form or withdraw your divorce petition.

Why is there no record of my Mexican divorce filed with department of vital records in New York?

Only records of marriage, divorce, birth, death that are filed with any state's vital records division are those that occurred within that state. That being the case, there would be no information concerning a divorce outside the US or for that matter outside New York State. If you wish to have a copy of the declaration of divorce you will need to contact the Mexican authorities in the city where it was filed and granted.
