Yes. Especially if you and he can agree to all terms of the divorce, there is nothing that requires him to be present in person.

Of course! There are at least a couple of ways to divorce him. If you can have him personally served, so much the better. You will need a Proof of Personal Service (FL-330).

Yes, you can get a divorce from him. Speak to a matrimonial attorney for details about service upon him by publication or at his last place of residence or in Mexico. Good luck.
