Dear Sir,
You have many questions as such it is better to consult the lawyer in person with documents. The validity of decree passed by Foreign Court depends upon two factors that is whether you have given consent for such divorce if not it is not binding on you. However, if you accept the same you can remarry but after remarriage you may not get child custody.

Regarding above subject matter, The judgment of US court is final. You do not require any validation of your divorce from an Indian court. As a corollary thereto, you are free to remarry. and Both of you can file a divorce in USA . the decree awarded by the US courts are valid in india. However indian law does not permit ex-parte decree's. In order.
