Let me give you a brief introduction
I am an Indian citizen in the US on an Indian passport and work Visa. My wife deserted me after coming to US and went to her matrimonial home. From there she filled DV and 498a on my family. Since all her allegations were baseless, soon they realized and agreed for mutual divorce in lieu of hefty alimony.
Since relatives and sister's in-laws don't want any hassle, they coerced me as well for mutual divorce on a settled amount. I am not against mutual divorce but alimony is too much for me and I never get a chance to negotiate or put my point. I will be visiting India in Nov 2022 and after seeing for my myself the ground situation, I might decide the next course of action.
But the wife's side is pressing hard for mutual divorce from the USA. My question is
Q1. Technically is it possible to give a mutual divorce from the USA without visiting India even if we consider video conferencing is possible? (Jurisdiction Himachal)
Q2. I have not given any power of attorney, only vakaltnama is signed that too online (though fees paid and lawyer is a family friend). I was planning to file other civil cases against her but another lawyer said that unless I come to India, I can not file any civil case as I will not present before the oath commissioner. Can any civil case be filed against somebody in India from US?

None of my family members is in the USA and I can not travel to India due to visa-related issues.
For POA in favor of family member, do I need a family member here in US to get it attested at the Indian consulate or I can do it alone.
Can POA be given to Lawyer if no family is willing to become POA ?
