Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Re: Can 2 cases be maintained for same cause

Hello. It is best to get representation of an

attorney. Since your child and the child's mother are in Illinois, you should hire an Illinois attorney. You should move quickly because in Illinois a person can obtain a divorce

by publishing the divorce in a newspaper after

proving that they do not know the whereabouts

of the other spouse. Will be happy to answer

any additional questions that you may have. Under these circumstances, it would be useless

to try to maintain your divorce action in India.

Your wife will have an advantage if you do not take action in the State of Illinois. In fact the court in Illinois will apply the "choice of laws" doctrine and will determine that Illinois has a greater interest in having its laws enforced for the benefit of your child than India since your child now lives in Illinois.
