3) you can seek interim maintenance from husband for your self and child

Dear Madam,

If the properties are in India, Indian law would apply. Period
Also, you will have to get approved the divorce here in India.

For immovable properties located in India, the local laws (of India) will apply and not the US laws. A decree of a US forum on immovable properties held in India, decided according to the property laws of a foreign jurisdiction would be unenforceable in India. If the US court undertakes a division of property, it will have to decide the division of property according to prevailing municipal laws in India after taking care of the 'Conflict of Laws' rules.

As for the divorce, it's recognition in an Indian court depends on many factors. If the marriage was subject to the Hindu Marriage Act or the Special Marriage Act, and if the partners are domiciled in India - a divorce decree granted by a US court applying their personal laws might not be recognized as a valid divorce by an Indian court  - for the purpose of division of assets. For the recognition of the decree obtained by the partners domiciled in India, the divorce should have been granted for grounds which are recognized as valid grounds of divorce under the requisite personal laws in India.

Dear,

       He filed but without your consent not valid in India.

       You can file case for maintenance for your self and for your daughter in Indian court only.

       She can't get any right in father's self earned property in his lifetime.

- You shall have to obtain the decree from Indian court pertain to enhoy all the rights.

- Also you may try to contest for other benefits ie alimony and maintenance however depends upon limitation of case.

- On base of Foreign divorce you will be able to attain the decree in India easlea

Your daughter have all the rights as daughter for from the father and the USA divorce decree is not valid in India so you have to file the maintenance under section 125 crpc in Family court to get all.

You may contest the divorce as you have not received any alimony.

1.See after all those years challenging divorce shall be of no use instead you can seek right of maintenance. 

Daughter has right on the ancestral property and further in life of father daughter has no right in his self acquired property. 

You can file for maintenance and domestic violence in India . You can claim your rights of maintenance as well as child rights in india. You can file 125 crpc, domestic violence, maintenance from family court

US court decree you could have challenged but now it`s time barred. Limitation issue.

Wife has no right on husband property after divorce and only right to residence while in marriage.  But divorced wife entitle to maintenance if not remarried. 

Daughter can also claim maintenance, expanses for her marriage, education and other regular needs. No right on properties.

3 years.

Daughters have equal inheritance right in self acquired/inherited property of father but on his intestate demise and not in his life time.

The divorce decree is valid if you consented to it. If you didn't then it is not enforceable.

As far as property is concerned tge terms of the decree shall be taken into consideration. If there is nothing then the property belongs to him. You may seek maintenance from him for yourself and your children.

Dear Madam

Divorve from US court is not valid in India only if it is uncontested divorve which is Ex-parte divorce.

But if the divorce is contested or mutual consent divorce then it is valid in India 

You have right to get maintenance from your husband and your daughter is also entitled to get maintenance from her father till her marriage.

Your daughter cannot claim self acquired property of her father if he will those properties to any other person but if he dies intestate then she can claim the property as legal heir of your husband.

But she can file claim for ancestral properties of her father. 

1. You have rightly heard that this kind of divorce in USA is not recognised as legally valid divorce.

As per Indian laws you can be considered as his his legally wedded wife till this date until he files a divorce case in India seeking dissolution of marriage on the grounds whatever he may rely upon  and gets divorce decree after contesting it.

2. Your daughter or you dont have any rights over his own and absolute property at least not during his lifetime.

1.  Decree of divorce passed by the foreign court on grounds  not acceptable by Indian law is not valid in India.

2. But in the instant case, you have consented for the divorce which satisfies the requirements for getting mutual consent divorce in India for which your husband can claim that it is a MCD availed throufg USA Court which is valid in India.

3. However, the said MCD decree obtained from USA Court is required to be validated by filing an application before the appropriate Indian District Court and if that has not yet been done by you or your husband, then the said divorce opf yours is not valid in India.

4. Based on the above, you can claim maintenance for you and your daughter by filing an application before the Indian Court as you are still considered as his wife as per Indian law.

5. Children will have no right on their parent's propertis till they are alive. Your daughyer will have equal right on her father's properties alongwith you, if you are declared as not divorced, after demise of her father.      

1. You are still considered as his wife as per Indian Law since the USA decree of divorce has not got validated by your husband through the appropriate  District Court in India.

2. Being his wife, you can claim all your dues ordinarily allowed to be provided by the Indian Law/Courts to married wives in India.
