I have to pay her that amount at the time of second motion. So my question is 1. Can i paid alimony amount through Cheque. 2. Can I paid alimony amount through DD. But in case of DD, how sholud i mention details of DD in First motion petition because DD is valid only for 3 months. Can I left blank for DD no in first motion divorce petition. 3. As she does not have any bank account in name after marriage, so can i draw DD in her name before marriage. Please guide me on above matter. Your early reaponse is highly appreciable. Thanks

Never cheque.

DD always.

Or else cash.

First motion, second motion..  forget it.

Just make sure, you write in your affidavit, you pay so and so sum to lovely wife, and she wont claim maintenance in any form in the future that this is one time full and final settlement regarding alimony, specify the amount which is being paid; and that the court will grand divorce after this, and she is not havin any problem with that. Do not forget to metion what all are you giving back to your lovely, cupboards, silk sarees which she brought with her etc.  Make a list of those items, and she has to sign such a list written on green sheet.

And in your lovely's affidavit, it should reflect the same.

Pay her money, do not agree to deposit money into somebody else's account or into her account.  Everything should be documented, do not fall prey to unassuming promises, that we will sign that day this day.

Ek haath do, ek haath lo.

You can either pay through the Cheque, or a draft. It may not make any difference, but always pointing out to the court that the amount of alimony is given as agreed. Obtain the receipt. File an affidavit to that effect and enter the Cheque or Demand Draft number. 

Make sure before the Court that this amount of alinony is provided to wife, subject to her consent for decree of divorce. 

Thanks For reply Sir.

Do I need to file separate affidavit in addition to divorce conset petition filed at the time of first motion. And another point is who ll give me receipt. And one point if i deposit amount in court at the time of first motion, can I get interest for 6 month. Please reply
