DV after 9 years of filing divorce. How STRONG will it stand?
Dear Experts,
Here are the details:-
MARRIAGE: Hindu Marriage – 2008 ; Cost of wedding half-half, Wife got married against her will as her parents disapproved inter-caste marriage with her BF, Wife left twice, 2nd time I/Husband filed for divorce in 2011, after 2 years of her desertion, since 2009.
IMPORTANT: After marriage husband got into a terrible accident, and is now partially handicap. This is another reason why wife didn’t wanted to continue the marriage.
WIFE: Has done Ph. D. and earned before as well as after marriage. Earns = Rs. 1,47,000/month. Has 2 luxury apartments in Pune & Mumbai.
HUSBAND: Engineer, but lost his job after his accident. Takes tuitions. Earns = Rs. 7200/ month.
SON: 10 years old. Have to pay Rs. 9000 as interim maintenance, so husbands mother pays the rest out of her limited pension.
QUESTION:-
- Wife’s maintenance application was denied in Cr PC 125 , 2 months back. So now she has put domestic violence against husband. After paying IM for son, husband is already running in NEGATIVE pay balance, so can judge in DV still award IM to wife & son, even if she is earning almost 1.5 lacks per month?
- I am from Goa, and she is from Nasik, and I got the DV summon 3 days back, so do I have to compulsory travel to Nasik? Or even if my lawyer goes and attends the court would be fine? How many times & when will a handicap husband will have to travel to Nasik? Can my handicap status be considered to proceed with court dates with video-conferencing?
- Her Cr PC 125 maintenance was denied by the judge, so can this new judge in DV case still grant her maintenance? And on what basis?
- We have stayed separate since 2009. Is DV case still valid? And how strong is her case when she earns 20 times more than husband?
- She already has 2 luxury apartments, so can she still claim residence when husband himself is staying at his mother house, where the house is in husband’s mothers name?
- Son is getting Rs. 9000, under Cr PC 125, so can she ask for more under DV act?
Please help. My lawyer in Nasik is in the hospital and recovering after his surgery, so I have no one to get my answers from.
Thanks in advance.
