$(function () {    
    $("#frmInput").validate({
        submitHandler: function (form) {
            //submit once validation rules are met
            form.submit();           
        },
        rules: {
            .... //other validation statements
 
            email: {
                required: true,
                email: true,
                remote: {
                    url: "/Home/EmailExists",
                    type: "post",
                    data: {
                        email: function () {
                            return $('#email').val();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }            
        },
        messages: {
            email: {
                remote: "Email already in use!"
            }
        }
           .... //other validation statements
    });
});
