The best way to begin is to consult immediately with a local divorce attorney. With a husband working overseas there can be complications both in terms of support payments and division of pension/401k/IRA accounts.

On what grounds or basis can i counter-claim my wife for divorce?

Kristen Prata Browde
Answered by attorney Kristen Prata Browde (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Browde Law, P.C.
The grounds for divorce that are permitted in New York are defined in Domestic Relations Law Section 170. However, the reality is that except in the most extreme cases DRL 170 (7) is the only grounds used: irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.  The reason for this is that the grounds very rarely alters anything in a divorce: you're going to get a divorce, the Court doesn't care why, and the economic and custody resolution is not altered by the grounds, except in the most extreme and unusual circumstance, which your description does not match.
