Legal Question in Family Law in
Hi,
first time I am using this web site so not sure it's of any use.
I have posted one question one week back. I haven't received any reply. So sending you same query again. Me and my husband are thinking of separation. We have been married for 3.5 years. Our marriage was in India but I would like to file divorce in Australia. My husband is Australian Citizen and I am Australian permanent resident(green card holder). After marriage I was working and my money was used for paying off his loan. It was also used for his family. Other than that I have gone through really bad time. I would like to get compensation for that.
My husband doesn't want to file divorce in Australia since he thinks he might escape from compensation in India.
What do you suggest I can do?
What can I do if he files divorce in India and I don't want to file it in India.
What heppens if I file it in australia before he files it in India.
If Australian court decides to give me compensation then my husband can challange it in India?

There are too many "ifs" in your question. We can only advise you as per your rights available in India as per Indian laws provide you specify your problems?
Is your your Husband a NRI ? Indian born Australian Citizen. The answer to this question is relevant for your Divorce and subsequent Alimony etc. You will get more compensation /Alimony + interim maintenance if your answer is yes that your Husband is N.R.I.
