Wife's rights on a property - 2nd name is hers, funded by me

Don't offer any property ans also don't tell them that you have any property in your name.

If possible then please ask court to give custody of the child.

Let her live her life on her own ways.

who is he to give or not give, yeah let court decide. 

She will contest, and she will also have strong claims...

She will have claim along with the house if it is joint property

For business profits first use as many names as possible , then want to keep everything to yourself , not fair at all!

And you ask for custody, and you will be given the custody--update us and educate us on how you did it. Was it so easy??? Would your wife behave like a dumb doll?

It goes to the person based on individual's  percentage of contribution while acquiring it.

If husband puts 5 lacs and wife put 2 lacs....then accordingly it is split.

Court doesn't decide arbirarily.

If husband invest anything in wife's name or in joint name doesn't give any right to her, by default.

Thanks for correcting my understanding. 

So it is useless having a joint property...how a housewife would invest any money when she is not going for a job or earning enough to invest it.

But she may rightly think 20-25 K is nothing in view of her husband's property and business. Fix deposit in child's name does not serve the purpose of footing bills for his present /future growth in terms of education, health and so on and so forth. 

Instead of looking at the property of husband ,it should be decided what are her geniune needs.

When she is bold enough part ways with her husband then she should be bold enough to work and maintain herself independently.

Maintenance of even a penny should only be given if she is also taking care of husband otherwise no money for free just for enjoying on the money of others.

It is shameful to enjoy on the money of others.It is an extortion.

It is better to marry a girl which is self sufficient.Boys nust marry only well educated and working girls.

where is the question of maintenance when couple is living together....how estranged couple would be expected to care of her husband or wife? 

Maintenance is a teachnical term as such...when the couple is living together , the term used is not maintenance

She is not bold enough...it is a decision of both that they go for mutual divorce

So yes, she should claim for her upkeep...and several judgments posted yesterday by Tajobindia ji on the grounds on which she can claim it....as well as one judgement by Prabhakar sir 

Certainly boys are free to marry well educated working girls, but in this case wife does not seem to be working , so her case would be stronger , I suppose...

This not a penny argument would not work in the courts, would it? 

For men it is shame for women it is not so....

These differences are the differences of how one looks at the situation and interprets it...it is not so simple 

Had it been, there would not have been laws to correct this mentality...

*for men it is shameful

Ambika Ji,

Please read the replies carefully and then answer once not in scattered manner.

Thanks

Point well taken Bhaskar ji. will be careful next time on...

No law  allows property of husband to be divided.

As per divorce wife is eligible for maintenance - not property share. And it is not for enrichment of wife.

If any joint property shared on basis of money contributed or in exceptional cases where husband can not fulfill maintenance. 

Don't worry keep records of your investment and source of income if she is not contributor but registered as co-owner then she can claim property but court is not going to give blindly. Contribution and ownership are key factor .

Thank you very much Prabahakr sir. Your reply puts things in perspective. It is this contribution of a housewife and working cum housewife that is not understood by many and hence housewives. I was just wondering how ownership can be questioned but then was not sure  on legal points. 

Thanks for this beautiful posting.
