Trusted NRI Divorce Lawyers in India
If you’re a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) going through a divorce, you’re not alone. Whether you live in the USA, Canada, Dubai, the UK, or elsewhere, understanding how Indian family laws apply to your situation can feel daunting.
At Legal Light Consulting – LLC Lawyer, we specialize in simplifying this process. Our goal is to help you manage your legal challenges with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind
An NRI divorce involves at least one spouse who is a Non-Resident Indian—someone of Indian origin living abroad. While the emotional toll of separation is universal, the legal process becomes uniquely complex when international jurisdictions, cultural expectations, and logistical challenges come into play

Jurisdiction and Legal Complications
When an NRI couple’s marriage is registered in India (for example, in Delhi), it’s essential to determine how Indian law governs the dissolution of marriage. Issues such as:
Recognition of foreign divorce decrees,
Child custody arrangements, and
Property division
require careful handling under Indian and international legal frameworks.
At Legal Light Consulting, we ensure that your case is filed in the right court and that your legal rights are protected, both in India and abroad.

That’s where Legal Light Consulting steps in with practical solutions:

Remote Resolution: Divorce Without the Travel
The good news is that the Indian legal system offers practical solutions for couples living abroad, minimizing the need for extensive travel:
Joint Petition: You and your spouse file a joint petition in the Indian family court where your marriage was registered or where you last lived together.
Special Power of Attorney (sPOA): If NRI couples are living abroad, they can skip the travel using an sPOA. Through a Special Power of Attorney, you appoint a trusted representative in India to handle court appearances and proceedings for you.
Online Hearing: You can also request the court for an online hearing, allowing you to participate remotely in certain stages of the divorce process.
