Dear client,
As you and your spouse are both green card holders living in the United States, you can file for divorce in the state where you currently reside. Each state has its own laws regarding divorce, so you will need to research the specific laws in your state. You may need to establish residency in the state for a certain period of time before you can file for divorce there.
As for filing for divorce in India, you will need to consult with an Indian lawyer familiar with family law to determine the appropriate jurisdiction to file for divorce. Depending on the specific circumstances of your marriage, it may be possible to file for divorce in multiple jurisdictions.
In terms of what kind of divorce to apply for, if both parties agree to the divorce and the terms of the divorce (such as property division, child custody, and support), an uncontested divorce is likely the best option. This can be a simpler and less expensive process than a contested divorce, which involves a court proceeding to resolve disagreements between the parties.
It's important to note that divorce laws and procedures can be complex, so it may be beneficial to seek the advice of a family law attorney who can guide you through the process and help ensure that your rights and interests are protected.
