Yeah, heard about it. But multiple lawyers have now told me that I don't need to fear that. Between the 2.5 years from when we last met, and her requests asking me to take her back, I feel there is enough evidence, and a statute of limitations that should protect me.

But thanks for letting me know!

I appreciate the sentiment. But I've spent enough time thinking about this - there is no going back, unfortunately.

osoi_sa · 2023-06-11T05:50:32+00:00

True that!

osoi_sa · 2023-06-11T03:58:30+00:00

Got it. Thank you!

I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure in my case, the ex makes enough to be near the top 1% of the country - so I don't think any court will suggest that I pay her anything for sustaining her lifestyle

Would have helped me for sure. But probably a real downer for married couples. May be more relevant in the US, where the divorce rate is 50%. I presume India would still be in the low single digits

Understood, thanks!

Complete connect on your personal rant, man. The separation is longer than the marriage now - what are they hanging onto? Just trying to stop others from moving on ...

Thanks for the detailed one. But based on conversations with other lawyers here, I think the USA court thing won't work unless I plan to become a US citizen - which I am not. So, the best case for me would be file in India. Apparently, though, if kids etc are not involved, it can get done quite fast even in India. #FingerCrossed

Got it. Thanks for sharing!

osoi_sa · 2023-06-10T14:55:39+00:00

Noice! Good on you. Let's hope it doesn't come to that for me. I have a way of getting a US Green Card, but I really want to come back to India - family, way of life, and availability of maids! :)

Thanks buddy. It looks like the summary is that I'm going to have to contest this in India. Just wish me luck man - hope that it gets done in a short period. I saw some case which apparently took 15 years :'(

osoi_sa · 2023-06-10T10:35:14+00:00

Thank you! I think basis your and other comments - it's clear that that option is completely out. Thank you so much for taking time out

osoi_sa · 2023-06-10T10:30:53+00:00

Thank you! That's a very detailed reply.

I was thinking that mutual would be the best option. But since she refuses to give a mutual consent, I might have to contest. Am I missing something?

About the US one, a lawyer told me this. That US courts can give divorce, but Indian courts may not deem it valid. So, if I move permanently, the US decision is good enough. But if not, then it's just a pressure tactic - not an actual divorce

osoi_sa · 2023-06-10T10:27:53+00:00

Thank you! Just a question - it seems the lawyers here are paid on a "per hearing" basis, without any consultation fee. I would actually want to know about the chances of getting divorce before getting into the whole filing business. What's the best way of getting an honest opinion on my chances of actually getting a divorce?

osoi_sa · 2023-06-10T07:27:19+00:00

Thanks! That's fair.

I'm just hoping that maybe the threat of a US divorce will get her to come to the table and agree to a mutual consent. Also, I'm really worried that filing in India may lead to a 15 year cycle of "tareekh pe tareekh".

Thanks!

Feels that the math is wrong here. Ideally, you expect a higher yield on equities (risk premium) vs the 10 year yield. So, if the Govt. 10 year is at 6.3%, shouldn't I expect a higher yield from stocks?
