HI,
I urgently need advice on the following case for my friend....Please help:
- concerned person lives in US. He seperated with his wife of 10 years as she had an affair outside marriage.
- Wife has shifted back to Mumbai. Custondy of the seven year old is decided to be with my friend in US. They both want a divorce.
- In US they have had numerous councelling sessions.
- So that she does not set un reasonable demands, he filed a case of extramarital affair against her. Post that they have negotiated and come to a reasonable alimony figure - which is agreeable to both of them.
Questions:
- The mutual consent case may need to be filed in Mumbai. Is that correct? that was the place of last residence in India.
- CAn the first motion happen without his physical presence? Through power of attorney? or any other way?
- Will they still need councelling as they have already got proof of councelling sessions in US?
- Ideal/typical lawyer fee in Mumbai for fpreparing the papers, filing the case and getting the thing done.
- Any refernces of lawyers?
Thanks
