Yes a divorce in Mexico is valid here. Presumably his wife had him served in Mexico. Maybe she hadn't been served with the Mexican divorce.

It probably is, but maybe grandma didn't trust it. He should supply a copy of the Mexican divorce (along with a verified English translation) with his answer to her divorce complaint. That may get her complaint dismissed.
