Common Questions From United States

United States, Asked & Answered

Will a US divorce decree be recognised in India?

A US divorce decree is recognised in India only if it satisfies Section 13 of the Code of Civil Procedure, chiefly that the foreign court had jurisdiction, the decree was on the merits, and it did not violate Indian public policy or natural justice. A purely consent-based decree where the respondent did not contest is typically recognised; an ex-parte decree without service is often not. We assess and, where required, file a confirming petition in India.

How do I sell my property in India from the USA?

Execute a Special Power of Attorney before the Indian Consulate (Houston, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, or Atlanta), or have a US-notarised POA apostilled and re-registered at the Indian Sub-Registrar of the property's jurisdiction. LawCrust drafts the POA, runs buyer due diligence, drafts the sale deed, completes registration, and remits proceeds via your NRO/NRE account in compliance with FEMA limits.

I am facing a 498A case in India and I live in the US. Should I return?

Not without anticipatory bail in place. Step one is filing a 438 CrPC application at the relevant Sessions or High Court in India; step two is evaluating whether the FIR can be quashed under Section 482 CrPC. Returning before bail is granted exposes you to arrest at the airport. We have represented dozens of NRI husbands on US/UK soil through both stages.
