Re: husband has got divorce from US.

If you have got married in India and you have not submitted yourself to the Texas Courts then the divorce is not valid. You can approach the Chennai family Court by filing a suit for injunction stating that youshould not be thrown out of your matrimonial house. Also file for Domestic violence case against your husband.

Re: husband has got divorce from US.

firstly , u may file a complaint under domestic violence act and seek residence orders of that house. you also pray for the orders that your husband be restrained from disposing off the house. as far as divorce in texas is concerned, that is not binding upon u as marriage was solemnized here. consult a good lawyer.

It is amazing that the one court in alien country has passed divorce decree! Only the court of country where marriage was solemnized is competent to pass decree of divorce. Act of your husband seems to be within Domestic Violence against which you may have declaration from the competent court of law having jurisdiction in your area praying restraining your opposite party to alienate house you are occupying at yet with occupancy rights.
