Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Child support case from parent in another country

The facts as stated by you are not very clear. Firstly, has any divorc petiton been filed, if so, what is the result.

Secondly, what is the status of the dowry case.

Thirdly, is it true that you have come back to India while your wife and child are still in US?

However, based on the facts stated by you, and my understanding of such facts, your wife, in order to execute the US Order of child support of $550 per week, will have to apply to the local court in India for execution of such order, without which, the order can not be executed in India.

The question as to how long she can stay in USA, will depend on the US authorities cathing up with her, which may be a long time. You must be aware that aliens have been unauthorisedly staying in US, after expiry of their status, indefinitely.

On the last leg of your query, you cannot file any such case in India to restrict her right to proceed against you either in India or USA. However, if you have not yet filed a divorce proceeding, you should do so immediately, and also claim child custody therein. This would extinguish all her right, as a wife, against you, and the only right she may have would be for alimony/maintenance (as per Indian standards)

You can definitely avoid payment of child support of usd 550 and wife support by a clever legal process in India, without the legal process the disobedience to US courts' order may result in permanent disability upon you on your future visits to US.
