You can file for a contested divorce in India, but your physical appearance may be required for signing documents or attending hearings. If you cannot attend, you can authorize a lawyer through Power of Attorney (PoA) who will request the court to allow video conferencing or you can provide a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) to a family member to represent you in court.
