Betrayed, divorce and alimony

Relative from maharashtra married 11yrs having 2 kids below 10 yrs. residing in USA with greencards and both r Indian citizen. Wife fell in love with other man in USA. Social Media chats and note r available. Nude photos exchanged thru social media and mobile back up available and she accepted physical relation verbally. After disclosure and questions with her both r in frustation & shock. She ask to send her to Maharashtra to parents home.  She resigned work.Their marriage is not compatable to continue now. After sending wife to India with kids he wants mutual divorce and if not agreed question remain outstanding. Yet both have not disclosed the fact to their parents. She also do not want to continue marriage under guilt.

1. What precautionery steps he should take for filing divorce and before leaving USA. And after she reaches India.

2. Will adultery and cyber laws against her will impact for denying alimony as lover and she has made adultery and hundreds of photos are exchanged through social media in their account but not public.

3. Can it be condition that relative is ready to give alimony for her subsistence till she is not employed and deny after employment.  For kids he is ready to give.

4. Can he avoid criminal allegation if she is ready for accepting non grant of allimony after her employment written in MCD. (Mutual consent divorce)

5.Can she use sec 498 & 125 in India against relative.

6. As per USA laws she is entitled to get 50% of sale proceed of mortgage property in both name which may fetch more than Rs.30 lacs as her share during pendancy of divorce case. Will court consider this amount while giving relief in alimony.

Any more suggestions?.

The query is not just a simple question. Its a descripttion of a case. You really need a long, detailed consultation with an able legal counsel in India. Actually with two or three different lawyers is better, to compare each advise and decide on the best course using the services of the seeminly best of them.

The replies by Mr Authohide are irrelevant to the query and his remarks against the Indian Judicial systemare highly objectionable and can be reported abusive.The non legal members replies should be sensible and related to the query only.

Comming to the query,

As she has reliased her mistake too, a divorce under irretreavable breakdown can be filed in USA,clearly mentioning the post divorce terms and conditiions,which would be easier.

Place of marriage is irrelevant for greencard holders in USA

One act of passion can ruin life forever.

Everybody deserves a second chance. So is this family atleast for the sake of children.

 

If  wife has stopped affair, then both should go and attend marriage counsller and work out some livable solution..

 

But if wife carries soft corner for her affiar, then things may reach court solution..

 

Both have to sit and talk and sort out issues such as Children, alimony, divorce among themsleves.

 

It is better to do it away from all family breathing down the neck and also avoiding mixing other emotions to it.

 

As much as it is diffiuclt , it needs to be done.

 

It is beter done in US than in India. Also distance would creep in. And time, which is most valuble.

 

Husband musculanity would be pricked. But with all social media in hand, there is always chance of third person in family. Hard to digest.

 

Faster they sort out. Better it is.. First part accpetance is that both are responsible for the situation that they are in, though woman seems to have crossed line here.

Thanx to all for giving valuable inputs. Inputs may direct my relative to lead proper steps cautiously. It is asked where they married. They married in maharashtra at parents location.
