What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hi,
My name is Nisha. I got married with Arun Mittal (who is on H1B visa) on 2 Feb 2012 in India and came to San Jose, California, USA on 13 Feb 2012 on H4 Visa. I was blessed with a baby boy on 23 Fe 2016 in Mountain view, California. During these four years, My husband abused me physically and mentally after marriage and continuous harassed me for dowry. I thought he will be good after baby will be born but nothing changed. So, I left USA on 25 April, 2016 with a returned ticket on 3rd September 2016. my husband cancelled that ticket. Now, my husband who is in USA and his family ( they live in India), they are constantly harassing and threatening us in India If I file a case or go to police for Domestic violence as his family is politically strong in India and connection with criminal. Also, my husband filed a divorce case in India in Septemebr 2016 and left for USA. As most of the incident happened in USA, I wanted to come to USA and file case against him for Domestic violence, dowry and child support. Please let me know how can I proceed, what would be the cost of hiring an attorney?
My husband and me jointly own a townhouse in San Jose for which I contributed. He is saying he has thrown all my stuff (jewelry, clothes, shoes, documents, all my baby stuff) and changed all locks of house. when I come to USA, can I live in my house?
Please suggest what options I have? Please help me. Should I go to police first or hire a attorney in USA. In case of hiring attorney, what would be the cost?
Thanks,
Nisha Garg
