I got married 2003 hoping for a good wife and family after some bad personal experiences.
Marriage turned out as a nightmare: Wife was depressive, even turned out as schizophrenic and threatened every now and then to commit suicide.
Being aware of the consequences I did not dare to go for a divorce and just let things go until 2007 where my wife and me agreed for a legal separation. I left the joint house in 2008 only not standing the harrassment with the family anymore.
In 2010 we set up with help of the court a mutual agreement for the divorce. I had to pay 2 lakhs yet which I did not have at this time.
Unluckily I did not get handed out the court document by the lawyer and missed out that the contract was valid only for one year.
Last week the mutual lawyer sent me first time after 2010 a mail informing me that
I missed already 3 summons (which I did neither receive nor get to know)
and I have to show up end of September in the court otherwise I will go behind bars.
- What can I do without high costs getting the date postponded to November?
- How do I prevent getting punished for not showing up in the court?
I am presently sick, staying abroad and also do not have the money to travel at requested date.
I meanwhile understand that getting this marriage (we never had intercourse) anuled would have been the best option. But in 2010 I was told that this might decades.
Any advise how to bring this nightmary story to an end is highly appreciated!
With best regards and lots of thanks in advance,
a hopeful fellow-man
