Dear All,
I need help in case of filing divorce petition to understand which place has the jurisdiction ,below are the case points:
1. Got Married in Mumbai
2. Last staying together in India was in Calcutta.
3. Went to USA for few years and there difference cropped up and both got separated and both came back to India. Girl stays in Nagpur and Boy now in Chennai.
4. No contact since last 5 years and efforts for mutual consent divorce last year did not work hence went for divorce petition filing .
Now question is where should the case be filed ? Any reference case laws would certainly help here. Thanks for reading .
Regards,
