Hi,
I have applied for divorce one year ago and my wife contesting it.
Now She is also interested to give divorce and admitted in front of Megistrate.
Judge gave 2 options
1. Withdraw current contesting divorce petition and file 13(b) mututal consent divorce petition with settlement matters( X lacs to wife and X lacs to childrens and also my father's plot to Childrens) but it takes 6 months time since it is mutual conset divorce.
2.Judge will give divorce decree as contest allowed(wife wil be hostile). This will take only one month time. in this my lawyer said that there is no petition/memo to submit to court stating all settlement matters.But lawyer asked me to do "Relinquishment deed with registration" with my wife which specifies all settlement matters( X lacs to wife and X lacs to childrens and also my father's plot to Childrens) with registrations.
I am totally confusion. I need divorce as soon as possible otherwise my wife mind will be changed and problems again in future.
1. Which is best option( option 1 or option 2)?
2. Can Reliquinsh deed made on liquid cash?
3. If I choose second option (Contested with Relinquish deed), can wife entitle/ submit maintenace petition in future also?
4.in second option, divorce granted as contested. in worst case, can Wife go session/high court for appeal?
5. How can I safe guard my settlements?
Thank you.
