Dear Sir,
I dropped my wife to my in-laws place for delivery 14 months before. After delivery we went to see the child and wanted to take her back to our home which her parents refused telling that she needs rest as per doctor's advice. After 01 week, then 01 month, 02 month once again I went to take her which she refused. After that My wife and in-laws filed complaint in women cell, which I explained the facts and figures then they took the matter seriously and blasted my wife and in laws for telling lies. I then filed RCR in support of my family and my self and closed the complaint filed in women cell on its behalf. Now the RCR case is pending since 09 months. After 09 months, my wife filed crpc 125 against me without any reason demanding 15000 per month. What should I do? I have already filed Crpc 155 08 months before in my and my in laws locality both. Moreover I have lodged a complaint 08 months before against my in-laws regarding threat abuse and mis-happenings. Kindly guide me what should I do? I cannot trust my wife and in-laws now? Also I know that my wife only wants my money? I am alone taking care of my old parents? Please help me soon?

The criminal cases you have filed has not much bearing in a maintenance petition. Here the prime consideration is whether the wife is entitled to maintenance or not. Therefore, if you could prove through documentary or other means that she has been living there voluntarily and refused to join you without any reasonable cause, you can defeat her petition.
