I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the progress of my Domestic Violence case filed in July last year, along with the application for interim maintenance.
Despite the clear rule that interim maintenance should be provided within 60 days, the opponent party has been postponing the maintenance on various pretexts, such as paying the term fee in the previous school and the new school fee being out of reach. This delay is severely impacting my financial stability, especially as I have no source of income and am the primary caretaker of my 13-year-old daughter.
My lawyer mentioned that due to the backlog of divorce cases in Delhi, the process might take longer. However, I would like to understand if there are any steps we can take to expedite the interim maintenance. Given my financial situation and the pressing needs of my daughter, timely support is crucial.
Additionally, I would like to know if my daughter's testimony could influence the speed of the case. She has witnessed everything and is capable of providing detailed accounts in court. The opponent party's refusal for mediation suggested by the judge further complicates the situation, and I believe my daughter's input might provide a clearer picture of the case.
I appreciate your guidance and support in this matter and look forward to discussing potential actions we can take to address these concerns.
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards, Monika

You can rope in your daughter at the time of evidence from your side and not now.
You may have to wait for the court to pass interim maintenance
