Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am trying to get a divorce with someone in Mexico I have been contacted by him and he asked me to get the divorce papers and he will sign but my question is how do I do it with me in Texas and him in Mexico and we have a child but he has nothing to do with my child and never has had contact for 15 years with me or my child I asked for him to give up his rights and he is willing to do that so I can do a step parent adoption after the divorce is final so what can I do to get a divorce with him in Mexico and me in Texas we are agreeing on everything ?

Please do this the right way, with a lawyer. The bio dad is in agreement, so it won't be an unreasonable expense. Too many times, I have had folks try to do this themselves, and when they come to me, it is such a mess it costs far more money than a lawyer would have charged in the first place. The divorce, the termination and the stepparent adoption can all happen almost simultaneously, since he is consenting. It will be much cheaper, and much easier. Please talk with an attorney in your area to discuss your options.
