You can file a divorce here and have him served with the papers by registered mail If he doesn't file an answer within 42 days you can ask the court for a uncontested hearing and he doesn't need to be there for them to grant the divorce.

File your papers and have him served in Mexico City. You will probably need a lawyer or paralegal to help you through this portion of the case.

File a petition for divorce in the county where you live. Have him served with the notice of process if you know where he lives. If you have no property and do not know where he lives then he may be notified officially by posting the notice on the court house steps.

You need to file where you live and not worry about reaching him. Once you've filed, use a professional service processor to serve him in Mexico.
