Frequently Asked Questions

Can NRIs file for divorce in India?

Yes, NRIs can file for divorce in India if they were married under Indian law or if the marriage is recognised in India.

How is child custody decided for NRIs?

Custody is based on the child’s best interests, and courts consider factors like the child’s age, education, and well-being.

Can I claim alimony or maintenance while living abroad?

Yes, NRIs can claim or be liable for maintenance, and Indian courts handle such cases based on financial and legal documents.

Do both parties need to be present in India for family law proceedings?

Not always. You may be represented by a legal power of attorney or attend hearings virtually, depending on the case.

Can I contest property division during a divorce from abroad?

Yes, we assist NRIs in claiming or defending property rights during divorce proceedings in Indian courts.

Is my foreign divorce valid in India?

It depends on the laws followed and the court's jurisdiction. We help verify and validate foreign divorce decrees in India.
