NRI Divorce and Child Custody Rights in India: What You Must
NRI Divorce and Child Custody Rights in India: What You Must Know
|
When NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) go through a divorce involving children, legal rights around custody, visitation, and jurisdiction often become complex.
Key Points:
- Jurisdiction Matters: If the marriage was registered in India or the couple last lived here, Indian courts can have jurisdiction—even if one party lives abroad.
- Mutual vs. Contested Divorce: Mutual consent divorces are quicker and less adversarial. Contested cases can take longer, especially when one spouse lives outside India.
- Child Custody: Indian courts prioritize the child’s welfare. Custody may be granted to one parent, with visitation rights to the other. The location and lifestyle of the parents can influence the decision.
- International Enforcement: Orders from foreign courts are not automatically enforceable in India unless validated by Indian courts under Section 13 of CPC.
Why it matters: NRIs must understand both Indian and foreign legal systems to avoid custody battles or contempt of court issues.
