Divorce
My husband and I have been married for 35 years and have lived inUS ever since. He is a still green card holder. I have acquired a citizenship. We are filing for divorce.
I am familiar with the Law in Us which is 50% of the whole sum, but I am not familiar with the Indian law. So my questions are as follows:
1-My husband owns ancestral agriculture land and an ancestral house in India. His other brother lives in that house and runs the farm. What is my right right on that land and on that house if I get a divorce.
2- 15 years back he had bought a house in his mother’s name. She passed away two years back and the house was transferred in his name. Since the money was sent from here to buy the hat house, do I have any claim on it.
3- Do my adult Children have any right on agricultural land in India
Thx

Hi
All our children are adults and they are United States’ citizens.
1-Do they still have right on my husband’s ancestral home and agricultural land?
2-Can they claim to have their portion of land transferred in their names while father is still living.
3- don’t I have 50% claim on the value of the agricultural land appreciated over last 35 years, since this appreciation happened while we were married. Just like any other stock or bond if he owned, that grew in value, would be considered an income during the marriage and will be divisible.
Thanks
