Re: Mexican Divorce
As a practical matter, you have to have a Florida driver's license or voter id to get a divorce here. If you don't have one, you have to have someone swear you've lived in Florida for six months, and you have to have a green card or be a citizen.
You'll have to serve (or attempt to serve) the other party in Mexico.
There is no such thing as an automatic annulment.
