Hi
I have been married for 3 years now with a 1 year old kid. Me and my wife stayed together with my parents only for the 1st year of marriage. Then she left me due to some misunderstanding and went to her parents place and never came back. I left for Singapore on a work assignment. I have been calling her so many times to come and join me - over phone, email and registered letters. But she says she cannot leave her job. She is earning 3 times more than my salary. Her father also has sent a letter saying that she will not come leaving her job. I am really pissed off with her father's interference. My wife also seems to be very stubborn and not wanting to leave her parents. In the meantime, my wifes babyshower, delivery, my kids name keeping ceremony and 1st year bday everything took place at her home without any of my folks or me taking part. They seem to have a 'dont care if you are not there' attitude. I have finally decided to go in for divorce.I am least bothered about her filing 498a cos I know she cant prove it and I am ready to face it.
1. I have a flat in my name bought before marriage and I am the only one paying EMI. No wife contribution here. Is she entitled for any share?
2. How much maintenance expense will I incur for a,say, 2 year old
3. Do I have to pay her alimony? She owns a house in her name.
4. In case she files for toture and claims compensation, do I have to prove my innocence and come out without paying anything?
Would really appreciate if anyone can shed some light. thanks
