Hello everyone - thanks for having given me the valuable inputs. Here I am yet again seeking guidance.
I had a hearing date on July 18. A counter reply was filed. This week, I received a court notice stating the respondent in my petition has submitted a CrPC under Sec 125 for maintenance. In her petition, she states that I am not taking care of neither her nor my daughter and I need to take care of their maintenance. She has asked for a total of 10k for her and daughter. The hearing date for this is on August 16.
Since last April, I have been transferring her funds via online transfer. For seven months, I had transferred 10k and after she came home, I started transferring her 5k and a total 160,000 has been given until this month and have the bank statement reflecting the same. She is not deprived of any luxuries or benefits. She uses everything what is available at home, groceries, a/c, stove, electricity and what not!! The expenses of my daughter are taken care by me such as, her education expenses, food, auto charges, dance and song fees, medical expenses etc. Her notice does not state that she has been earning or been receiving cash regularly from me.
My divorce case hearing is on Oct 8. When I consulted with my lawyer, he said, this amounts to harassment and he would request the judge to prepone or advance my Oct 8 date to August 16. He also said, we should submit all the proofs relating to the divorce case and this maintenance notice.
What will be the implication for her having false facts or hiding facts from the lawyer/judge? Since she has not made her facts straight, will this help my case in any way?
Thanks in advance.
