In the 1960s, many Americans traveled south to obtain a "Mexican divorce." A Mexican divorce was easier, quicker, and less expensive than a domestic divorce. Celebrities who obtained a Mexican divorce include Johnny Carson, Katharine Hepburn, Richard Burton, Marilyn Monroe and Don Hewitt. It was often referred to as a quickie (or quicky) Mexican divorce.

Both spouses did not have to be present at the hearing (they could send a lawyer in their place).

[edit] Mexican divorce in popular culture

"Mexican Divorce" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Bob Hilliard.
