If he does, there will likely be jurisdictional issues affecting the validity of the divorce; particularly if the wife has no ties to Mexico. It is not a good idea to divorce when the other party is not given due process, such as if there will be jurisdictional issues or other validity problems. He should consult an attorney in his jurisdiction with particulars.

He needs to file in the US and stop waiting on her to call shots.
