OCI Card holder foreign nationals rights in India
1 year ago
My husband, son (4 years) and I are all foreign national & OCI Card holders and would be filling for divorce soon in USA, we were married in India.
We all are travelling back to India for some urgent work and our son is joining us. I am afraid that my politically connected husband may file the divorce petition in India and would hold back our son at my in-laws place and I would have to fight the court battle in India, instead of US, while my husband has flexibility in work and can work from home, I am bound to work from my office in US and can't leave the job.
What are my sons & my rights in this scenario?
can I reach out to local embassy with my concerns in advance?
Can the local court ask my son to stay back in India while I travel back to US on pretext of me not coming back.
Would the court take into consideration the job role I am in and push for local settlement.
