Q: I need a divorce lawyer
Hi, I have been married since 4 years. I'm working in California for 2 years. I gave all my money to my husband and he built 6 apartments in our home country(India). I
did all the household work after office hours. He treated me like a maid, abused me for small mistakes that I did in day to day activities. I was praying & waiting for
him to change. But all of a sudden, he is asking for a divorce now. He cancelled my credit cards, bank accounts and leasing rentals. He is planning to settle the
divorce with some small amount and remarry someone else. I met with a bad accident before the marriage, had severe injury in my right leg & still I cannot walk
properly as I have a plate inside. He had promised me that he'll take care of my medical needs and make me walk well. But till now, he didn't even take me to any
doctor for consultation. Day by day, he is threatening me that he'll screw up my life and job so that I cannot stay here. Please advice.
A:
Your case seems to have many different aspects. It is best to find a divorce lawyer in your city or town in California. Your case is complex enough that it most likely cannot be addressed effectively via email or Internet communication.
I have had some divorce clients from India. The problem they usually run in to is with Hindu marriage law. I am not an expert on that by any stretch of the imagination, but it seems that unless the divorce is done in India, any subsequent marriage of the parties may not be recognized under Indian law. This is not a California requirement. As long as you meet the residency requirements for CA, you can get your divorce done here.
