Please clarify if she wants to apply for US passport or Indian passport and where are the divorce proceedings pending.
Re: Passport application form while divorce case in progress
In the passport application, she should truthfully give both addresses.
I am sure you are not contemplating an ex-parte divorce. In any case it is immaterail whether in-laws find out about the divorce. A divorce can either be contested or by mutual consent to ve effective and binding. In both such cases, the knowledge of in laws in not of any consequence.

Your citizenship is not affected by a divorce. Give your present address and your past address to be clear you are being truthful. Glen
