Hello LawyersclubIndia
Could you please take some time and help me. I want to ask a couple of questions.
My first wife died some years ago. I have 2 kids from from first wife. Due to constant pressure of society and elders I had to marry another woman who was a divorcee (no dowry). That woman has 1 daughter from her first husband. Note - I have no kids from my second wife, no physical contact, no s*x. Second marriage is 14 months old.
Unfortunately due to some situations, her constant nagging behavior, unrealistic demands and non-compatibility with her, I am thinking to go ahead with divorce (she still stays with me at the moment). I want to know:
1. What are the chances of getting divorce without mutual consent i.e. she does not agree to divorce me but I want to? What should I do in that case?
2. My second wife is a teacher, owns a property herself in her name and earns 17,000 Rs per month. She used to live in her house by her own along with her daughter for some years before our marriage. I own a property as well in my name where we used to reside after marriage for few months but we are living on rent at another place at the moment and my property (house) is vacant. I want to ask can she make any claim in my property or not? Do you advise it to transfer it to my son's name at the moment before I go for divorce appeal?
3. Is she eligible for any alimony or monthly maintenance? If yes how much (rough idea).
Note - She used to live with her daughter and took care of herself and her daughter for several years and she also owns a property in her name.
Kindly advise me regarding above. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for reading.
