Our marriage survived only for 5 months. She is postgraduate, who worked as subeditor before marriage. Because of her obsessive compulsive and narcissistic behaviour she caused a lot of problems and ultimately deserted me. I am petitioner in Main OP (divorce) on the grounds of cruelty and IA petition for Interim Custody of our son who is 6.5 years now. I am ordered to pay Rs.3000/= as interim maintenance to her & our son, even though I am providing all the nourishment, dress materials, toys to our son since his birth on monthly basis.
As my monthly income itself is Rs.3000/=, I could pay only Rs.750/- at the maximum. FC chennai recently ordered me to pay the IM from the application date that runs to Rs.60,000/=.
Now, I the following questions:
a) Is it true that my appeal will be admitted only if I remit 50% of the interim maintenance arrears amount? The judgment is absurd and what should I do since it is apparently beyond my capacity.
b) Should I file a CRP / CMA seeking to quash the Family Court order partially (for wife's part). OR Can I file a writ for interim stay for the above order?
c) She is working as a freelance journalist and that I cannot prove her income. What are the fruitful strategies to quash the lower court order in High Court? Pls give citations of judgment relevant to this case.
d) As I am willing for a compromise (as I am afraid with the gender biased laws of our country) on partial custody (but they are not willing), should I file a separate petition or pray the judge to treat my IA petition as seeking partial custody?
Thanking you in advance.
