  • Divorce and child custody

    Hello,

    I am in US on GC soon to be acquiring US Citizenship. Have a child who is a US Citizen but currently child and I are in India. Spouse is on H1B but currently in between visas so he is also in India for next few weeks or longer.

    Some questions:

    1. We got married in India 5 yrs ago and with my US citizenship should I file for divorce in India or US? Can I file in India even though I will be a USC?

    2. Child is US citizen so custody case has to be in US - correct?

    3. Can divorce and custody be separate i.e. divorce in India and custody in US?

    4. Does spouse with USC have more rights and would win custody of a child who is USC?

    5. Any way that a child custody case can be filed in India for a USC child?

    6. Without child custody to any particular parent, can child reside with US citizen parent (who the child stays with) anywhere in the world including India?

    Thanks!!

    This is really not an immigration question, but family law question.

    It would be best to contact a divorce attorney in the US who is of Indian origin so that he would hopefully know the laws of both the countries.
