This query is : Resolved
I am contesting DV case against my wife (She is earning more than me) ,and have following queries:
a)In a situation if I loose the case ,will court ask me to pay Lump sum or Monthly Maintenance to my wife?
b)Can the submission made by my wife in Family Court during Cross Examination(Separate Divorce case)will be admissible in DV case?
Any guidance will be a great help

If court passes any orders to pay the maintenance, then you will have to pay.
Yes, admission given in another case is admissable, you produce the certified copy of the deposition in DV Case.

if your wife is earning more than you question of paying maintenance does not arise . but you have to prove it . ask for her income tax returns

Your wife in the given case is not entitled for the grant of any maintenance if you prove whatever you have stated. The statement made on oath in another case, is duly admissible.
