hello

your child is a US citizen but you both are still Indians living in the USA. you were married in India as per the Hindu rites and rituals and hence the laws of India in general and the Hindu law, in particular, are still applicable upon both of you.

the Indian courts alone have jurisdiction in this matter and hence you have to come to India to divorce him. mutual consent divorce takes 6 months and in case of a contested divorce, it may take 1-2 years.

you can take divorce in the US only if the other party to accepts the jurisdiction of the US courts. if he does not respond to the summons and does not appear, you may get an ex-parte decree which is very easy there, but that would have no validity in India and you shall be married to him as per Indian laws.
