Re: implementation of indian courts judgements in US

This is based on info provided by you. Once you get a Divorce and maintenance decree in India, you can attach his porperty, if it is in India. Or in the alternative based on it, you can initiate a legal proceedings in US, by which you can call for maintenance.

Accurate advise can be given only if papers can be seen. This can act only as guide lines.
