Dear Sir,
My sis was married to an indian man who works in london, uk and after marriage, she went to london and stayed with him for an year. During that period he acted violently with her and beat her profoundly due to which london police was called off and he was kep in custody for one night and was only released on the request of my sis.After that incident he kept luring my sis to come back to india and somehow convinved her on false pretext. when they came back to india, he filed a divorce case in family court due to which she is totally devasted.He is claiming he earned Rs.5 Lakh annualy. he is a process engineer in oil and gas company of UK and may be earning atleastRs.6 to 7 lakhs a month. We are finding it really very difficult to trace out his finances so that a comparable maintenance can be claimed for the deceased. Also we do not want divorce and perhaps are interested to settle the matter but he seems to be in no mood. I have also contacted uk embassy in mumbai but they choose to abstain. I hv also approached Ministry to external affairs to seek info from High commissisonof india, london office but am not very sure @ results. can u please guide how can we trace his finances to claim maintenance, if he doesnt agree to stay together.

Your advocate could send a notice to the employer asking for the salary of your sister's husband. Moreover during trial the employer could be summoned to court to testify about his salary , if it has any branch office in India.
If all these fail then the court can always take judicial notice about the high salary of a qualified professional in London.

Alternatively your sister may apply to the court to issue direction to the applicant (your brother in law) to produce salary certificate from his employer.

you may dis-agree about his (your brother in law) claim of so called low income, in the court it-self and request the court to direct him to produce all his income certificates including Income Tax Returns/ Tax Deduction Certificates etc to ascertain actual income.
