I am in a confusing situation guys.
My wife filed a DV case on me some years ago, and her maintenance was rejected as she's earning well. However I was asked to pay 20% of my income as maintenance to my child.
That case has been dragging for more than 3 years.
Now due to some fresh opportunities my income is going up, it has become 2x of what I used to earn, but I am not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
If my income goes up 2x or 3x, would it make it possible for my wife to file maintenance afresh and get more money from me even if the income went up during separation when she was not in cohabitation?
She's naming a big price for divorce (60 lakhs). I offered her 30 but she declined. Frankly I don't want to give her anything, biut my prospects are improving and I might earn a lot of money in the future. Keeping that in mind could it be a better idea to pay the cost and exit now?
There's no other case apart from DV.
Please give me suggestions friends.
