Legal Question in Family Law in India

You have not stated your husband's US residential status, viz: H1B or Green Card etc. I have assumed your status to be resident Indian and marriage as a Hindu Ceremonial marriage with or without subsequent registration.

Regardless of your husband's residential status in USA, You are not under compulsion to Go to USA to fight the case there. However, You can file your objection to the jurisdiction with that US court through an Indian Lawyer.

You can file a case in India either for restitution of conjugal rights or for a divorce and in both cases ask for a temporary and permanent alimony for yourself and any children out of wedlock.

If he or his family members have demanded dowry and or tortured you, You can also sue for in criminal courts/ police in India.
