The court may direct your parents to provide USA address of all of you; even otherwise, the information may be sought from Indian Embessy as also from the US Authorities.

The court may also "request" the US Authorities to arrest and deport all the POs for facing trial in India.

You may better consider an amicable out of court settlement and avoid this litigation for all times. A mutual consent divorce with adequate settlement about alimony etc. may perhaps be a better option for all of you in the long run.

All 3 accused can be declared proclaimed offenders.

Court can not order your parents to provide your USA address.

What is look out circular? There no such term in Code of Criminal Procedure.
