Mexican Divorce Laws for UK Citizens: Understanding Your Rights

Question
Hello! I am 31 year old English citizen. I got married in Mexico 6 years ago. Woman is an English citizen as well. After that I didn't attest my marriage documents back home (in UK). Now we are splitting up and I am wondering if I am still married according to Mexican law. Can you help me with any information? I am looking forward to hearing from you very much. Best regards, Martin.

Answer
Hi Martin~

Even though you married in Mexico, your marriage is still legal and binding in all countries.  So, yes, you're still married.  All you have to do is to file for a divorce in the UK, and follow their (of the UK) laws to legally obtain a divorce .  You don't have to file any marriage documents in your home country for the marriage to be recognized.  The marriage in Mexico is legal, binding and valid if you have a marriage certificate that was signed by a clergyman and filed with the Mexican government, etc.  I hope this helps answer your question.  If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.
