Talk:Mexican divorce

1960s ?
To quote from the 1929 movie Rio Rita : "Mexican Divorce - Mexican honeymoon". The film is set in Texas, next to the Mexican border. It seems, the phrade was known already in the late 1920s. --88.217.181.71 (talk) 09:26, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Jurisdiction
What ever made any U.S. state accept such a proceeding done in a foreign country? (You can't win a law suit that way.) --Uncle Ed (talk) 19:35, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

When I worked at the U.S. Consulate in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico (1985-1987), we often received requests for proof of divorces that had been obtained by Americans in Mexico. We had information regarding which officials had granted divorces fraudulently. As a result, we frequently had to break the bad news that a couple were not married legally. Heartbreaking.
