Hello Sir,
My husband has filed for divorce and I am planning for contesting the case because I want to retain my marriage but I dont have sufficient money for the fees of lawyer and to run my home on monthly basis. So in this case, if I apply for maintenance ( I am not talking about interim maintenance), then will judge think that I am ready for divorce but I want only maintenance and will grant divorce to my husband ? Because judge is nothing but a human being who can think this way too. Pls tell me the effect of my applying for maintenance on my entire case. Which section I should refer for maintenance.
Thank you
N RAMESH.
