Marital Disputes Involving NRI/PIO Spouses

Marital disputes can be challenging, especially for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) or Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) living abroad. If you and your spouse are facing issues such as divorce, child custody, or other family conflicts, Legal Light Consulting, a leading law firm based in Delhi, India, offers expert legal support to help you navigate these challenges.

Their experienced lawyers provide guidance on resolving marital disputes under Indian law, offering both online and in-person consultations to make the process convenient for NRIs and PIOs worldwide.

Question: My husband and I are residing abroad. How can I get assistance for the settlement of marital issues between me and my husband?

Answer: If you and your spouse are living abroad and facing marital issues, you can seek help from the Indian Mission (Embassy or Consulate) in the country where you both reside.
The Indian Mission may provide possible assistance, such as:

• Guiding you to local support services.

• Offering counselling and mediation options.

• Connecting you with legal resources both in India and abroad.

They can also help in communicating with relevant authorities in India if needed.

Legal Light Consulting – Supporting NRIs Worldwide

While the Indian Mission can assist with initial support and guidance, complex legal matters such as divorce, child custody, property disputes, or criminal cases often require professional legal representation in India.

At Legal Light Consulting (LLC), we provide complete legal services for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs), including:

• Matrimonial and divorce cases.

• Child custody and guardianship.

• Domestic violence and dowry-related complaints.

• Property, inheritance, and succession matters.

Assistance for NRI/PIO Marital Disputes

If you and your husband are residing abroad and facing marital issues, Legal Light Consulting can assist you in several ways:

1. Approaching the Indian Mission: You can contact the Indian Mission (such as the Indian Embassy or Consulate) in the country where you and your spouse reside. The Indian Mission can provide initial assistance, such as counseling or mediation, to help resolve marital disputes amicably. They may also guide you on legal steps or connect you with legal resources in India.

2. Legal Guidance from Legal Light Consulting: For comprehensive support, Legal Light Consulting offers tailored services to address NRI/PIO marital disputes, including:

   • Mediation and Settlement: Their lawyers facilitate negotiations to reach mutual agreements, such as in cases of mutual consent divorce, to avoid lengthy court battles.

   • Divorce Proceedings: Whether it’s a mutual consent divorce or a contested divorce, they guide you through the legal process, explaining grounds for divorce, jurisdiction, and required documents.

   • Child Custody: Assistance in resolving custody disputes to ensure the best interests of the child under Indian law.

   • Property Division: Support in fairly dividing marital assets, including property in India or abroad.

   • Police Complaints in Matrimonial Disputes: Help with filing complaints in India for issues like harassment or domestic disputes.

   • Online Consultations: For NRIs/PIOs who cannot travel to India, Legal Light Consulting provides remote legal advice, document preparation, and representation.

3. Documentation and Legal Procedures: The firm helps with preparing and authenticating documents, such as marriage certificates or Power of Attorney, required for Indian courts. They also assist with attestation and apostille processes for foreign documents.
