A divorce decree from a Kuwaiti court may not be automatically recognized in India. To make it valid, you need to file a petition in an Indian court seeking to have the Kuwaiti decree recognized and enforced under the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.

I’m planning to file for divorce in the USA and want to understand the legal implications in India. I’m considering using private processes for the Indian proceedings. If I change my address and phone number in the US, will my wife be unable to serve me with legal notices in India, delaying or stopping the case? If that’s the case, can you explain how that would work? My parents have their own property, and I have my own property from before and after marriage. If my wife files a case against me in India, could she claim any of this property? I have a 9-year-old son. Also, if the case is filed in Nagpur Family Court, is video conferencing available for clients in the USA? I’m hoping to get some clarity on these points before reaching out to an attorney for further consultation. Thank you for your time.
