How NRIs File Divorce via Power of Attorney

Procedural Workflow

Step-by-Step Guide for NRI Divorce via POA

Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) who cannot physically travel to India for every court date can legally appoint a trusted representative (father, mother, sibling, or advocate) via a valid Power of Attorney (POA) under Section 20 of the Indian Stamp Act & Supreme Court guidelines.

Adv. Jyoti Chavhan guides NRI clients through the exact 5-step process required for embassy attestation, adjudication, and video conference hearings.

5-Step NRI POA Process:

1

Step 1: Drafting Special Power of Attorney

We draft a legally compliant Special POA specifically authorizing your representative to file petitions, sign pleadings, and present evidence.

2

Step 2: Notarization & Indian Embassy Attestation

Sign the POA in front of a local notary public in your home country and get it attested at the Consulate General / Indian Embassy.

3

Step 3: Adjudication in India

Once sent to India, the POA is presented before the Collector of Stamps office within 3 months for formal adjudication and stamp duty payment.

4

Step 4: Court Petition Filing

Adv. Jyoti Chavhan files the divorce petition along with the adjudicated POA before the Family Court having jurisdiction.

5

Step 5: Virtual Hearing & Statement Recording

You record your statement under oath via official Family Court Video Conferencing without traveling to India.
