Divorce for Foreigners & Expats in Mexico & Oaxaca (2026 Consular Power of Attorney Guide)

For foreign citizens and expats living in the US, Canada, or Europe who married in Oaxaca (or whose spouse currently resides in the state), divorce proceedings can be executed 100% remotely without traveling to Mexico.

Through the Consular Power of Attorney procedure, our law firm assumes complete legal representation before the Family Courts in Oaxaca.

The international legal process involves the following key steps:
