Do i have to file for divorce in india

I got married in 2003 in India under HMA and we got a child in 2004. We have been living seperately since 2006 and then I moved to USA in 2006.

I filed for divorce in USA in 2009, she was served with the notice for which she didn't respond. Court in US granted divorce. In divorce decree I was ordered to pay $100 each month to my wife to take care of my child. I sent $100 each month to my ex-wife which she refusd to acceept. On advice of my attorney, I have been depositing the money in a bank account. I became a US citizen now.

Divorce decree I got from US court is not challenged in India court so far. Is it possible to challenge the divorce decree now?

I am engaged to other girl in India recently(2013). I am planning get her to US on fiancee visa and get married in USA.

If I get married in USA, will that marriage be recoginzed in India. I would like to know, if my ex-wife can file for bigamy if I get marry in USA.

RK, I heard that foreign divorce decree is not valid in India, if the divorce is ex-party. If that is true, my ex-wife can file for 498a and bigamy? Isn't it?

Eevn if she files, it will have no ground and be easily prayed to dismiss. However wait for 7 years of separation period and even ioata of chance is nullified. After 7 years of separation, go ahead with your marriage
