My husband filed Counter petition for my divorce petition in 19th Jan 2018. Now when i approched my advocate he filed Maintainance petition for my daughter. And when i asked about filing Chief Affidavit and start divorce procedure he saying that lets wait untill he responds to the maintanance petition. My husband took nearly 1 year for filing counter against my divorce petition. If i wait for his response in maintanance he again wastes time and try to prolong the case. Here my question is why don't we file Chief affidavit rather than waiting for my husband to respond on Maintanance. My advocate is saying that we should not take immediate action for his counter petition if we file Chief affidavit the case may dismiss and we will loose the case. I filed divorce on Cruelty grounds. And i did not put any DVC and 498A against my husband. Please suggest me that why don't i proceed for Divorce and file Chief affidavit. What are the conflicts i get if i file it. And also please let me know is there any rule and law is there that i have to stay with my husband even if i am not willing to live together. And what are the reasons for dismiss of a case in divorce.
