Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

property isue on divorce case

Myself and my wife filed divorce case in Boston, MA. We both are Indian Citizen, We have been in the USA for the last 3 years. We have been separately living for 2 years. I have some property in India on my name. I brought 1 year before. Now she want to claim this property. Even She didn't know, where my property located?

My question is:

1. whether she entitled to claim my Indian country property or not?

2. whether I need to include this property in my financial statement or not?

I hired some lawyer in Boston. But he didn't much aware about international law.

I really appreciate you, if you could response this mail.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Susila
