As you are saying that there is already a decree of divorce by mutual consent ordered by USA court... the same is binding on parties unless and until the wife files an application in USA court for modification of the decree or recall of the said order of Dec. 2014.

Was in the divorce proceedings any amount as regard to the alimony was paid to wife??

filing of complaint case in sept 2015 is meaningless. you have to contest the complaint and show that its all only afterthought and to harass you that the complaint has been filed.

You have to give a written reply to the women cell stating all the facts and circumstances Also you are required to file the said divorce decree which was granted by the courts in USA. However, I may mention that if the woman files any case against you, the same needs to be defended in the court of law.
