Legal Question in Family Law in India
Husband in US
My husband lives in US. My minor daughter and I live in India. My husband who is a green card holder and his extended family have threatened to file for divorce. My husband has not been in communication with me for the past 5 months. Please let me know if it's possible for him to get a divorce without letting me know about it both in India and the US. So far he has never supported my child.
