If you have been in Indai for less than 6 months and resided in California longer than six months prior to the move to India, then file in California. Contact me directly.
Barne is, of course, an idiot. You said you have been living in India for five years. So to answer your question, you would have to come back to California, with your child, and live here for a minimum of six months before California would have jurisdiction and California would apply its own laws for the most part. For some aspects of the divorce, however, other laws might apply. This would mostly be property issues regarding property not in California. Those issues would have to be specifically researched as to which law applies.
