Can a case be filed in India against a person residing in UK?


22-Nov-2023 (In International Law Law)
I was married for 10 years now. I and my wife are NRIs residing at UK. My wife suddenly on some trivial issue left from UK to India and is threatening me and my parents( who are in India) that she will lodge complaints against us on cruelty, harassment, dowry etc in India. She is also insisting for divorce AND a huge sum as alimony. We have a male child who is 7 year old. Can a police complaint at India make me get arrested in UK? Our marriage was in UK. Can a divorce be filed in India? Since she was working and was earning high salary, should I pay alimony? Can I have custody of my child? Please advice.

A police complaint in India with the applicable legal formalities can ensure your arrest in UK. Yes. Divorce petition can be moved in India based on the protocols. The Decree can be executed at UK. Even though she is earning, still she has the right to claim alimony. Initially, till disposal of the case you can insist for visitation rights to visit your child.
All these can be attended too in ways as per laws applicable in India and UK and the protocols signed by both countries on family law matters.
We can assist you on all these, should you need our professional help.
