Sir,
I had obtained and ex parte divorce from my wife, But since I didn’t know where she was residing after she left my house my lawyers sent the summons to the wrong address, he also sent out a public notice through national news papers but again these news papers are not circulated where she stays. Now she has approached the court for maintenance as well as setting aside the divorce decree. My lawyer at the time of my divorce had also mentioned that I may remarry after a period of 30 days which I did. He told me that if I remarry the court can never reverse its decision. I have a child with my ex wife but have not gone ahead with having a family with my current wife. My question to you sir is..
1 Can the court reverse its decision and If my ex wife succeeds in winning the case will that mean she and I are still married in the eyes of law?
2.If my ex wife proves the wrong address will my current marriage be null and void.
3. will the court not consider my current wife’s situation?
4.Can my current wife or my currect wife’s family appeal against the decree of divorce since they married their daughter to me on the basis of this decree? my current wife and her family knew about my divorce?
5.Can the court force me to live with my ex wife if I don’t wish to?
6. According to my lawyer I remarried after 30 days will that also add to my problems?
Kindly help me….
