My relations with my wife are quite strained; we live abroad. She is planning to go on a trip to India to attend a wedding. I have reasons to suspect she will just stay there and initiate a divorce. I don't want to break the marriage by myself, but if she initiates it, I will agree.
My immediate question is this: we have a lot of jewellery that my mother and I purchased for her that we have in our home (along with receipts). She wants to take all of it with her to attend the wedding. Would a signed letter from her listing the items and that she took them suffice from a legal standpoint?
I would much rather not do this, but the jewellery is worth several lakhs, and I have also already her family lots of money that I see no hope of recovering. How can I safeguard myself?
