Truthhurts1 kept saying here that he doesnt want to go back to India and now we know the reason. But honestly in my family I have seen 2 divorce cases and women almost get nothing. Indian courts are so lax, it takes years and years to get a judgement and most cases, the women just want mutual agreement and no alimony or child support, just to get rid of the husband as soon as possible. But even in cases where they ask for alimony, the amount is really peanuts as per Indian standards it is like 10k rupees a year or something, which is like $200.
Truthhurts1 is trying to gain a lot of sympathy, but comeon man, you are renting a $3700 house and you are earning 150k in Singapore, there is no way you can blame the divorce in India for the $120k debt. The truth is something else.

My brother was in a similar situation about 15 years ago (credit card debt almost equal to his annual income), and it took some very extreme budgeting and the help of my dad and myself, he closed all of his credit cards, consolidated his debt and started paying it off every month while just surviving on a bare bones budget. Took him four years, but he finally paid it all off. Today he is mostly debt free and has never been better off financially, but mainly thanks to his better half since he got married 5 years ago.

If I were him I’d be renting a room. That alone would free up so much cash, the debt would be paid off in no time.

Exactly! If he seriously wants to fix his situation he can fix it anytime.

Truthhurts1 consistently expressed his reluctance to return to India, and now we understand the underlying reason. However, within my family, I've witnessed two divorce cases where women received minimal settlement. The Indian legal system tends to be lenient, with cases often dragging on for years. In many instances, women seek a swift resolution without demanding alimony or child support, solely wishing to sever ties with their spouses. Even in cases where alimony is sought, the amounts awarded are typically minimal, often amounting to just a fraction of the husband's income.
While Truthhurts1 seeks sympathy, it's worth noting that he resides in a $3700 house and earns $150k in Singapore. It's difficult to attribute his $120k debt solely to his divorce in India. There may be more to the situation than meets the eye. <redacted>
