there are two ways to go about it. first you can simply file a maintenance case here in India and get an order to that effect which in all probability will be an ex parte order if he do not choose to contest. then if he refuses to comply with the order the execution proceedings will take place and warrant will be sent to USA and/or his Indian property will be attached and sold to recover the due. the more effective step will be to travel to usa and file a case there. you might think it's expensive but it's far more easier and effective. I will suggest you to explore the later option. the private international law will allow you to do do. regards, Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, M.Sc (Net), LL.B (Delhi), Advocate, Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta.

the best way to handle this is proper planning is required you have to rope in his parents as well so that the husband comes under tremendous force so that he gets hell bent to revert and no path to escape and he has to maintain you and is there any child out of the wedlock
