I have filed a divorce case in the Family court in Chennai 3 years back and it is now in the crossing stage. The respondent husband with the intension of dragging the case is continuously filing several IA petitions one after the other, each time at the verge of getting the order of each petition. As a result of this my divorce case is being at a stand-still stage as the judge wants to deal with all the IA petitions first before she begins with the Divorce case. He filed a custody petition first where visitation order was given in 2013 and is still in effect. He has now filed another petition with almost the same content where the order was obtained in the same court. With regard to the maintenance petition, the court ordered 9000 per month for me and my children in June 2013. He has paid only Rs. 10000 so far and that too only when the judge said that he will be arrested if he does not pay.
My questions are
1) Is there a possibility of filing an injunction petition stating that any petition that he files in future should be dealt with separately and not linked with my Divorce case as the Divorce case is independent by itself? If so, how and where should we file the injunction petition?
2) Is there a possibility of filing an injunction or any other petition requesting the Divorce case to be separated from all the IA petitions (like custody/visitation/ MC) that is existing now which is delaying the case now.
3) Can he file the custody/visitation petition in the same court where he has already got an order stating almost the same reason?.
