1,foreign judgement will not be binding on you as marriage happened according to Hindu marriage act.

2,she cannot remarriage with that divorce decree, in india, as it is not acceptable, and  divorce proceedings is still in force in india.

3, This query is confusing, you say she got divorce judgement now you are claiming she got interim decree,clarify the same.

4,If it is  a expartie decree in singapore it can be contested, if it is decree on merits it is a futile effort.

5,for filing bigamy under IPC u have to get central government permission.

since you have decided to part with her mention the same in court proceeding and get sufficient maintenance for you child and speed up things at the earliest.

Dissolution of marriage by a decree of divorce in a foreign country for a marriage solemnised in India that too as per Hindu Marriages act, is not at all valid in India and not binding.  Therefore if she had married again during the previous marriage is still subsisting, it can be termed as null and void.  It is bigamy too. Maintaining your child will be your responsibility too, hence first check your position and then decide about seeking maintenance for your child by her.
