The courts in US are competent to entertain the matter as they are US citizens. Indian courts are not the right forum. The question of custody should also be filed in US. And it is best to find a local lawyer there and get it sorted.

Dear Sir,
She can file divorce in India because she married as per Hindu Marriage Act only. The other issues will be subject to various other issues to be discussed in person. She can also file child custody on certain conditions.
