Hi,

Yes you can either withdraw the  case and file fresh divorce petition in US court itself or you can file another litigation in us court mentioning that one divorce case is already pending adjudication before family court in india.

Suggestion would be not to withdraw the divorce petition in India of the stage of the case is respondent evidence or arguments.

You cannot file divorce case in USA without with drawing divorce case filed in india 

2) further even if you file for divorce in USA it should be on grounds recognised by HMA 

3) please note that no fault divorce obtained abroad is not valid in india 

4)if your husband does not contest Indian divorce case you can get exparte divorce decree in india 

Hi, Don't withdraw the case in India. You can file a petition for divorce in USA. However, as per Indian Law divorce obtained in Abroad valid only when both the parties are participate in the proceedings. 

2.  So my advice to you, better you can file a Petition for divorce in USA and if you get the divorce there same can be presented in the case in Indian and withdraw the same. So that he has knowledge about the divorce obtained in USA.

The USA divorce case may not be of any use to you if the reasons stated in the USA divorce decree is not recognised as legally valid grounds as er Indian laws for the marriage solemnised in India.

It will just a paper judgment without solving any purpose or intention 

Thus, better do not withdraw the divorce case in India and follow it up through your advocate properly and regularly.

If you feel that your advocate is not cooperative or conducive then you may change the lawyer immediately. 

Filing in US when case pending in india will not have any effect. Contest in india.

You can do that. Or even proceed with the said divorce proceedings

Having filed for divorce in India, it is better to pursue it here, instead of initiating a fresh action in the USA, as only a divorce by mutual consent granted by a competent court abroad is valid in India.

Dear Client,

A divorce decree of a foreign court is valid in India only if the Decree of Divorce is granted on any ground valid as per the Indian Law under which the parties were married or the parties have submitted themselves to the jurisdiction of the Foreign Court i.e. the Court has adjudicated on the issue after hearing both the parties as regards the issues raised by them or the decree is obtained by Mutual consent between the parties.

So, it is advisable to pursue the said suit in India only as your husband is not cooperating with the proceedings.

Thank you

Dear Querist

As your husband lives in India then your divorce decree passed by USA court shall not be valid as he will not pursue that case due to any reason. your divorce decree passed by USA Court will hit section 13 of CPC-1908 and on the ground of natural justice that divorce decree shall not be conclusive in India.

Hence it will be better for you to fight the case in India and not in the USA.
