Living in India, how to get a divorce?

Thank you for your question. I cannot comment upon the law of India. However, I can state that you are entitled to pursue a divorce in Canada, even though you have returned to India and are an Indian citizen, as long as your wife has ordinarily resided in Canada for at least one year prior to the commencement of the Divorce Application. As she is a Canadian citizen living here I assume that this requirement is easily met. I can most certainly assist you with obtaining such a divorce without your presence in Canada, as there is only one original signature required from you and we can provide you with this required documentation in due course. If a Divorce Application is first commenced and served, then you can sign the required Affidavit in front of a Notary Public in India and then return it to us. If you wish a free consultation, we can speak over Skype. You are welcome to send me an e-mail at ajkania@kanialawyers.com to make the necessary arrangements if you so choose.
