Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Divorced, Alimony, Custody

The point is what do you want to do? If you want to contest the exparte divorce granted by the Indian Court, you can do so, since there seems to be within limitation period. Regarding child custody and alimony, you will have to apply in the same court in India, since the US Court may not have jurisdiction in as much the divorce has been granted by thye Indian Court.

Re: Divorced, Alimony, Custody

First of all you need to challange the ex-parte order of divorce issued by the indian court then you may proceed for custody and alimony

Re: Divorced, Alimony, Custody

It has not clarified, when the divorce was granted to your sister's hubby. You had not put in your appearance in the matter, hence, it proceeded exparte. You are adviced to get the decree set aside, if you are inclined to do so. If not you purpose is solved to get rid of the person. Regarding the custody and alimony: It is not clear, with whom the child is? But assuming your version as stated, it transpires, that the child is with the father. You can file a case for custody under Hindu Guardianship Act. But you action for it must be at the earliest, as it may turn against you on the merits of the case.
