Apply for anticipatory bail in India. To enforce divorce decree in india, have to file execution petition in India.

She can file complaint of domestic violence and dowry demand.

You can validate your divorce in indian court which you got from Australia. Or else you can file fresh contested or Mutual consent divorce in India.If any false cases are filed against you or parents you can seek anticipatory bail and then contest them in indian court

If she is in Australia right now and involve Australian law then a lawyer conversant with Australian law alone can help you. 

If she files case on India then further advice on getting bail and defending trial can be advised. 

Check whether in Australia a divorced wife can file such case.

In India a wife after divorce is debarred to file case under 498a IPC case.

You have mentioned that you have already got divorce in Australia, if she is aware of it then she cannot give any criminal complaint against you in India now.

However if she is still giving a complaint, first obtain anticipatory bail and then challenge her false case with the support of documentary evidences in your support including the divorce that you have got from Australia.

- What type of divorce you got from the Australian Court , Mutual divorce or contested 

- As per law, if you got mutual divorce or contested divorce from the abroad court , then it is admissible and valid in India . 

- If no , then you can file a divorce petition in India on the ground of cruelty etc in India. 

- Further , being a woman your mother can also file a DV case against her daughter in law for harassment.

Since you have already got a divorce in India, get the same validated in a declaratory suit before family court. Your divorce will be easily affirmed by the Indian Family Court, as long as they Australian divorce isn’t ex Parte

1. There's ambiguity in your narration. In the first paragraph you say that " Just today I got divorce in Australia" and in the last paragraph you say that " I want to get divorce so my parents..   in India". 

2.  Assuming that you have not yet obtained divorce, then convince your wife to agree for Mutual Consent Divorce which saves time and money. By opting for MCD, you can ask her to withdraw all cases foisted against you and your family.

3.  If she has filed DV / 498A, obtain Anticipatory Bail for you and your parents.

By producing the copy of Divorce obtained by you, contest the complaint filed by them.

If the divorce obtained by you is contested one and it is passed by competent court it is valid for all practical purposes, and that, since you are legally separated from her, your parents can live peacefully once you come out of the complaint lodged by them.

In order to get the false complaint closed / disposed off, produce all the relevant proofs / documents etc., to the concerned police and get it closed on merits

You can go with mutual consent divorce in Australia. Because in Indian court foreign court divorce order is not valid. So in your MCD you can prepare terms and conditions according to your wish.

1. You have mentioned that 'Just today I have gotv divorce in Australia'.

 

2. Your shall now have to file a Divorce suit in India also since the decree of divorce passed by te Australian court will not be considered as valid in India.

 

3. Send a letter tom the NRI police station informing that you have already got the decree of divorce in Australian and the said complaint lodged by your wife is false and fabricated which is required to be ignored.

The divorce decree has been passed by the Australian court. She must have participated in it. The divorce is complete. Now she can only file false cases against you in Australia for past incidents. I don't think the courts there would entertain false and frivolous cases without any evidence.

1. what type of divorce you got? pls specify, it seems to be an ex parte divorce, if it is so it has no value in the eyes of law in India,

2. since she had filed a police complaint against you, therefore, in the present circumstances, try to settle the matter amicably with your wife involving elders/relatives/friends etc and go for #Mutual Consent Divorce which will be decided in 6-18 months, and you both will be free to live life with your wish,

don't forget to draft a# memorandum of understanding before approaching #Mutual Divorce, which is the most essential and important part of a #Divorce case to avoid/reduce future #legal complications,

some basic points to keep in mind and put in writing through an #MOU before filing the petition for #mutual consent divorce are #custody of kids, #distribution of assets (movable/immovable), quash/withdraw of #pending litigation if any, #Maintenance (present/future), #Alimony, mode and time of making the payment, streedhan, future litigation, etc.

 

if MCD fails, you can file a  #contested divorce on the grounds of #mental cruelty but it will take around 3-5 years,
