k2s Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 Hi,I got married in India almost a year ago. Our marriage is registered in India, but not in the US. I am a Christian, by the way. I was an Indian citizen at the time, but now have US citizenship. My husband has Indian citizenship and is still residing in India. After we got married, I stayed with him in India for 5 months. During these five months, he physically and emotionally abused me, including hitting me, trying to strangle me, etc which constitute as assault under Domestic Violence laws. So, I returned to my parent's house in the US. It has now been almost 7 months that I have been back in the US.In addition, he also cheated us by falsely stating that he has an MBA from a university in London. It was only when I returned and when we dug deeper into the matter due to suspicions from his changed behavior and examined the copy of his supposed MBA certificate, which he sent us, that we realized it was bogus.I want to apply for divorce from the US (New Jersey). I do not know if he will agree to a mutual consent divorce or not (I highly doubt it). My parents and I will be traveling to India to let them know of our decision and discuss this possibility. I plan on filing for divorce when we return. If by any chance he does agree to the divorce, how can I negotiate to get back the money my parents gave him and his parents before and after marriage?(As is more likely) If I apply on grounds of "extreme cruelty" (i.e. emotional and physical abuse) from the US...Will this work? Will it be valid in India?This second issue is the more pressing one that I really need answers for. Please help. *Before and after marriage, my parents have given him and his family a lot of money that was meant for them to safeguard for my use in my life with him. However, they spent part of it for their wedding expenses (we paid out of pocket for our own). I also invested part of it on his business venture, used part of it as a down payment for our flat - which is in his name, and for other expenses. About the flat - the down payment was given in part before marriage, but the flat was signed/registered/bought after marriage in his name (on a mortgage/home loan).My parents also paid for almost all our living expenses as well while he was "starting" his business, which has not started even a year later. My parents were pressurized to pay by his and his family's mistreatment of me.I need and want all this money back to build a life for myself now and to support my parents, for whom that money was the bulk of their savings.Once again, some clarification about the money...This money was given by my parents for me for my life with him.The money was only given to him and his parents for safekeeping. It was for my use, not for them to spend or use. Also, for his business and for the flat, most of the time, my parents gave the money to me and I gave it to him or in the case of the flat to the builder in cash or cash cheques. This money was my/my parent's contribution and so represents our share in the flat and in his business. In fact, we invested almost 100% of initial capital in his business, he or his parents have invested nothing. So, we have almost 100% share in it. So, if this money was meant for my use and the money in the business and the flat is my share in these entities, will I then be able to get the money back or a share in the business and flat?Question#1: If I apply for divorce in the US and claim this money or spousal support/alimony, can the US government order him or pass on this order to the Indian government to get the money back from him? As in, does the US government have the power or will the Indian government consider the decision passed by the court in the US as valid and enforce the decision by granting a divorce in India and ordering the return of the money?Question #2:Also, since most of the money was given in cash or cash checks, please anyone please give me some advice on what proof can I show of this money having been given for safekeeping or investment, as is the case?Also, what proof can I show that this money was not a gift, but was meant for my use only?I know that in US, when you file for divorce, you send a notice to your spouse and they have a time period within which they have to send an answer, not contesting or contesting the terms in the notice. If they do not reply, you can ask for a default judgement. When you get your hearing date, you have to send this information to your spouse as well. Then, during the hearing, if he does not come for the hearing, but you show the return receipt as proof that you let him know of the hearing but that he did not reply or choose to come, then the judge can grant you the divorce in his absence. My Question #3 - Supposing this is what happens, since he was informed of the divorce and did not contest it , and was also informed of the hearing date, but chose not to appear, will this be valid in India, then, even if he was absent during the hearing?Question #4:Supposing, by some miracle, he agrees to my terms to return the money and to mutual divorce, and I file the divorce here in US, will it be valid in India, since he has agreed to it, even if he does not come for the hearing?Anyone who has any knowledge or experience of applying for divorce, in the US, from a person in India or a foreign country please help me. Thank you very much for all your help in advance.I truly appreciate it. This is such a horribly confusing and stressful time for me. Any help I receive is such a relief. Thank you once again.
