Divorces in Mexico
Divorces can be filed before Mexican authorities when:
- The marriage was held in Mexico.
- For Foreigners, ONLY when their official address as a married couple has been established in Mexico and proven by Mexican Authorities.
For a Divorce to be granted and valid, both parties have to appear personally and sign before the Judge in Mexico, once all the requirements are presented and standard procedures are followed as specified by the Mexican Authorities. (Juez de lo Familiar, Juez Mixto, Agente del Ministerio Público and /or Juzgado del Registro Civil).
In that regard, this Embassy would like to inform that Divorces of Marriages from a different country offered to be transacted in Mexico by a third party (Lawyer) without the appearance of one of the parties before a Judge are NOT valid.
