NRI Divorce Options: Filing in India or Abroad
NRIs have the flexibility to file for divorce in the country where they currently reside or in India, provided the marriage was solemnized in India.
Each option involves navigating complex legal frameworks, including foreign laws (in the country of residence) and Indian laws (such as the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, or Special Marriage Act, 1954).
Legal Light Consulting’s experienced NRI divorce lawyers provide expert guidance to ensure compliance with both jurisdictions, offering tailored solutions for:
-
Mutual Consent Divorce: A streamlined process for amicable separations, with a six-month cooling-off period (which can be waived if both parties agree).
-
Contested Divorce: Robust representation for disputes involving alimony, property division, or grounds like cruelty or desertion.
-
Annulment: Legal support to declare a marriage void under applicable laws.
-
Child Custody: Compassionate handling of custody and maintenance arrangements, prioritizing the child’s best interests.
Our team ensures that NRIs in New York, London, Sydney, or Doha can pursue their divorce with minimal hassle, leveraging Indian court concessions and cross-border expertise.
