Me and my husband have got mutually divorced 3months before. In the decree its mentioned that he will pay Rs 20000/- per month maintenance, half for me and half for my son in my bank account every month. Within 3 months of divorce, my husband has stopped paying me the same and sent me an sms that he is in a miserable financial condition,
Dear,
Even he was once your husband and he is telling that he is in financial trouble. Why dont you believe him as a friend and ask him when could he give money?
Try giving him a chance.
And I'd suggest that instead of begging money, no doubt it was MCD on agreement to pay 20k per month, but why dont you try and work, get some job instead of looking at the ATM slip for alms?
Women should also be self-dependent, as it is not just he agreed for divorce, you did too, the guy is having trouble with money.
Try finding a suitable job, start afresh.
There are many other ways to get money from non-paying ex. But those legal things are time consuming and it wont ever stop, you will become a regular customer of the court halls.
You can do as follows, provided you dont take the above suggestion, which I know you wont take.
1. What can I do in this situation?
Approach court for nonpayment of alimony. Arrest warrant will be issued, for nonpayment of alimony. Evading arrest, will lead to NBW. Now if he is caught, he wont get bail, and has to sit inside, and you will have to pay money for his maintenance in the prison.
2. Once a petition has been filed, mediation has happened, order has been passed - Can my husband again change the terms mentioned in the petition
Your husband is not taj mahal of agra or the Red fort in Delhi that he wont change nor his circumstance will change in the future. He can always tell due to change of circumstances his income has decreased and ask the judge to readjudicate the alimony, he can even knock the doors or HC or the honorable supreme court too.
3. In the decree it has been mentioned that never ever my husband and family would ask for visitation of my child. However whenever I remind him of the alimony payment, his family threatens me for taking my child. Can they ever claim the child later though its mentioned in the decree that they deny the visitation forever.
All money matters ok. But he is still your child's father, how can he even if stated not visit his child, in the decree? It is inhuman to ask the father not to visit his child, and also the grand parents. AGreed that you both could not get along. But its not the fault of the child right. You have to let go off the ego here, let the father visit the child, try and have cordial relations at least here.
For claiming the child, yes they can, in the future.
