I married my wife in 2016 and met her through a community matrimonial broker. I live and work in the USA. When we met, she mentioned that she has a pending housing loan and she needs my support after marriage until she finds a job. I was okay with that and married. After marriage, I found a lot of things fishy with her and her family. Later figured out that they hide a lot of things to get her married. She is the only breadwinner to her family, her father had a criminal case against him, she had plans to make her entire family live with me. I took my wife to USA immediately after marriage and didn't give any space for their family to involve in our live. They were involving secretly in the background. When my wife got a job in USA, they were completely into our lives involving in each and everything just to keep her in their control and influencing her to keep me in her control. I did not give any space for this also.
She became pregnant, and their family had a dream to visit my place in USA. Since I don't like them, I told them only my mother would be coming to help. They got super jealous and wanted to insult my mother. She wanted to force delivery and climbed 1500 steps up and down without my knowledge in the 9th month. After that baby's movement inside her belly stopped and we had to rush to the emergency room. They said the baby is running low on oxygen and wanted to induce delivery and it becomes complicated delivery. Thankfully both mom and baby were saved.
Since I was certain that this must be her family's greedy plan, I stacked her phone and found out it was well-planned activity by her sister and family. In fact that was proof that they were involving in everything in my life. We were scared of her action, disappointed to the core and decided to send her to India to be with her family for sometime. As soon as she reached India, her family changed plate on us that we tortured her for dowry and tried to kill her. Since my baby was 2 months old by then, I didn't want to impact my baby and told everyone that what happened. They warned my wife and she promised to be a good wife and wont let her family influence her anymore.
We went here to a doctor thinking that she might be in depression. The doctor diagnosed her with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and suggested tips to cope up with that. Long story short: Her family was still influencing her to find a new job in India, she created another drama in my family, using bad words against my mother and found a job in India, taking my baby and threatening to commit suicide if I don't take her to USA. I am in USA right now, hoping her to change and don't see any symptoms of change. I am scared to bring her to US. My entire family is in depression that we are away from my baby. I researched and found that she is a covert narcissist. Can I divorce my wife? How better I can co-parent living from USA? Have you handled any cases like this? Details can be provided if you need.

Thank you very much. Could you please help me understand how child custody works? My son is 3 years old now. My wife is working in India, living with her parents and I live in USA by myself. If proven that my wife did a life-threatening activity that could have ended my baby and her life, involvement by her parents, false acquisitions, her threatening etc, is she likely to ruin my life by false cases to keep my baby and get alimony? Do you think narcissistic personality disorder can be understood by court? I see in US narcissistic personality is well understood and I came to know that not a lot of people understands narcissistic personality disorder in India.
