About NRI & International Family Law
Navigating Family Law Across Borders
Living abroad and dealing with Indian family law can feel like a proper chakkar. I help NRIs and foreign nationals cut through the confusion, whether it’s divorce, child custody, or legal complaints back home.
What I Do
- Handle overseas divorce representation so you don’t have to keep flying in and out of India.
- Sort out cross-border child custody issues, making sure you get travel rights and proper visitation built into your agreements.
- Deal with digital abuse or virtual domestic violence, because harassment isn’t just physical or local.
- Help get foreign court orders recognized in India, so your rights don’t stop at the airport.
How I Work
I know the law can feel heavy and faraway. I break things down, offer clear steps, and keep you updated. If you’re tangled up in a complaint or FIR, especially those that mess with your passport or travel, I get aggressive about protecting your movement and freedom. For tricky cases, we can use tools like anti-suit injunctions or handle all the paperwork for attestation and apostille.
Real Talk
Divorce isn’t a failure. If you’re facing false allegations or just need things to move without drama, I’m here to help. My job is making sure you can breathe easy and get some peace back in your life.
