hi everyone,
kindly advise me on this topic, i wish to file a divorce petition, on grounds of mental cruelty, ours marriage is less than 1 year, it will complete a year in may2011, my lawyer has told me it can be filed within one year for mental cruelty, i know that once i file the petition, a 498a case will be slapped on me by my inlaws. i would like to know , in such a situation does the 498 hold much weight, as wife had ample time to file a case if she had problems with me before filing of petition, i took her to the womens cell on my own to let her have her say, but she did not remain present for the next hearing. now if i file a divorce petition, and post that a 498a case, will it hold good for her, kindly advice. thanks
