Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 02 June 2019 This query is : Resolved 
My husband was issued arrest warrant in USA for child abuse but he absconded from America. Now I am in India with my 2 daughters. He left us without even paying monthly maintenance. When my family approched him for settlement he is trying to pay me minimal amount with terms and conditions benificial to him.Is there anyway that this guy can be brought to justice?

Please advice how to proceed further.

Thanks in advance!

Apply and seek complete guardianship and continuation of child custody for yourself under the Guardians and Wards Act against your husband.
Apply for maintenance for yourself and minor child from your husband under section 125 CrPC.
File complaint for domestic violence against the husband with Judicial Magistrate and seek all the available reliefs under the Protection of the Women from the Domestic Violence Act.
All the 3 cases you can file in the same District court where presently you and your child living in India.

Whether US Court (where he is declared/ proclaimed offender) has not issued any look out notice? If so, how and where you are in touch/ communication ?
How were you successful in negotiations for "minimal" amount?
