How can a Mexican citizen living in the US obtain a divorce from a Mexican citizen living in Mexico that he has not lived with in years so that he may remarry in the United States?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.
