To file for divorce in California, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for at least six months before filing the petition. The couple must also have been married for at least six months before filing. If these residency requirements are met, the couple can file for divorce in California regardless of their nationality or where they were married.
The process for obtaining a divorce in California is similar for Mexican citizens as it is for U.S. citizens. The couple must file a petition for divorce with the court, which will then set a hearing date. At the hearing, the judge will consider the couple's reasons for divorce and determine whether or not to grant the divorce. If the divorce is granted, the court will issue a divorce decree, which will legally end the marriage.
