I am a woman. I had filed for nullity, based on impotence. The other party did not show up. The district judge (alipore civil court) finally declared the marriage null and void.
My lawyer advices me that I can now file for alimony + return of all my things (jewelry, etc) at the criminal court (alipore, kolkata).
I am not employed. The divorce took a little over a year to come through. Lot of expenses. Can you please advise me on the success rate and usual time taken for judgement for alimony and return of things, so that I can make a decision on whether to pursue and file for alimony at the criminal court or just give up.
I am not financially that well off to pursue a lengthy court case. And what if they other party doesn't show up, like they did for the divorce. Then all the expense will be in vain.
Is there any other way, without filing for alimony, to procure the lost things?
I would really appreciate any advice on what to expect after filing for alimony at the criminal court.
Thanks!
