What do you mean by "he has sent me a court notice?" Has he filed legal proceedings in India or in Texas? Do you want a divorce? If so, you may be entitled to spousal support. He will be obligated to provide child support once the child is born, if you have a court order. Clearly, your cost will increase in service fees and enforcement fees. Collecting monies owed to you will be difficult, but hopefully, not impossible.

You need a good family law attorney that has handled cases where a foreign country is involved. Asking around within your community might be a good way to find someone who handles cases like this. The sooner you get an attorney the better. If he divorces you in India, it may be very hard to do anything here.
