Re: Legalities of Mexican Divorces

I would have to research that issue to be 100% certain that Pa would respect a Mexican divorce. However, you can obtain a divorce in Pa without you husband's consent or even cooperation so long as you have been separated at least two years. So unless you want to take a vacation to Mexico, you can handle the matter here. For more information, contact Julie Auerbach at 610-565-3700.
