NRI Divorce

Hello, I am on a temporary Visa H1 in USA and am currently in India to get it extended. My wife has had several health issues since marraige which resulted in mental an physical cruelty on me. I filed for divorce in India and am since then served a notice to them. After learning about this she has filed a case under DV and crpc 125 seeking an exorbitant Amy as maintenance. When she filed dv she was at her parents place and has been there since 2 or more months now. She has pyschic problems and threatened of suicide several times so I didn't take a chance and filed for divorce only when she was at her parents. I am due to leave to US very soon and am worried if they can stop me from leaving or otherwise harass my parents I am ready to settle for a reasonable Amt but I don't know if they will agree. I don't want to ask then first because it will give them the advantage they will ask for too much which they already are. Pls help.

Hi M A,

I am no lwayer but currently in a similar situation as yours. Mental problems of girl. CAn you give me your number..? Several things:

Contact a lawyer which i guess you did. If you can take your parents along with you on visitor visa great. Yes i have heard of issues of confiscation of passport so best is arrange a GPA in India, who can then represent you, and get out,

In mean time apply for AB for your entire family.

if girl is working and no children then things maybe better. They will always ask for exorbitant amt. u need to get a good lawyer. are u in ap?
