This query is : Resolved
Me and My wife reached to agreement for mutual divorce. We both hired same lawyer and then signed the compromise deed.
But the deed was not produced in court or notary on that day.
So we aggreed to do it some other day but In another court where she hase filed cases me and my family from past 5 years her lawyer asked judge to order for maintainance under dv act.
Now my wife has backed out and she refused to do compromise. The lawyer which we both hired has refused to give me those papers as he is bribed and threatened by my wife.
The lawyer has threatened my he will file fraud cases against me.
Now what can I do to save my family. Can she get the papers from lawyer and misuse it. Can the lawyer get it attested by judge or notarty through unfair means and help my wife to get money.
Can she use that aggrement in court and ask the judge to get her maintainance as i was ready to pay under mutual divorce?
Please help...

Ur lawyer cannot use it against you. It is privileged information.
