Urgent help - divorced but wife is getting rcr exparte

dear lawyers, members - i have own contested divorce case 8 months back. She has given up due to my strong video evidences and i obtained divorce decree. however, from police station came to know, looks like she has filed RCR and going to get exparte in her favour next week. i checked in ecourts and found judge has mentioned a note exparte will be setup after paper advertisement. what should i do now? is it good to ignore RCR, because i am afraid of losing divorce decree. she has filed maintenance under 125 which i am planning to appear in court next month. kindly advise. thanks.

Dear Quriest,

You need not to do anything, let your ex waste her time in wantering around courts no RCR decree is valid after divorce let her win the case, after that she will file the case of execution, in that case you should tell the court about divorce decree and her RCR decree is not valid.

 

Since you have divorce decree, and no appeal lies against the decree , you can remarry if you wish.

Husband’s EMI towards house to be considered in CrPC 125 Maintenance to wife – SC Judgment

21 Jul 2016 by Leave a Comment

This is somewhat old judgment of Supreme Court, and it brings an important consideration which was overlooked by lower courts: Which was neglecting to consider monthly EMI paid by husband towards housing loan. The order reduced maintenance amount from Rs 10,000 to Rs 5,000 p.m.  While this may cause cheers to readers, it should be noted that the in-hand salary of husband is Rs 9,000 p.m, so effectively he has to now survive on Rs 4,000 p.m.  Somehow the facts of the case don’t add up for me.  There must be more to it than the numbers mentioned in the   …[Continue Reading]

MP HC denies maintenance to wife on her CrPC 125 appeal

28 Jul 2015 by 20 Comments

Thanks to a reader, we have this very recent judgment of Madhya Pradesh High Court which denied maintenance to wife under CrPC 125 on her appeal to HC since the court agreed with trial court’s observations that according to evidence led by husband and also wife’s own admissions, it was the wife who was not staying with him out of her own freewill. The judgment is actually not very significant, since both evidence by way of letters of husband and wife’s own admissions proved that there was no maltreatment, and in practical cases such evidence, and wife’s own admissions are   …[Continue Reading]

Qualified wife can’t sit idle and claim maintenance: Mumbai family court

26 Feb 2015 by 13 Comments

As per a recent Mumbai family court judgment, qualified wife has been denied maintenance.  While the news says about her being qualified and sitting idle, my suspicion is that the ex-husband had provided some proofs of her work.  Otherwise, it’s usually very difficult to get a zero maintenance order simply based on wife’s educational qualifications.  Since the case was followed after divorce, it must have been a CrPC 125 case because only that section allows cases to be filed even after divorce if the wife says that she cannot maintain herself.  The full judgment text has been found, and it   …[Continue Reading]

Woman can’t evict husband just because she pays EMI: Mumbai Family Court

Woman can’t evict hubby just because she pays EMI: Mumbai Family Court MUMBAI: A family court on Monday rejected a wife’s interim plea seeking her estranged husband’s removal from their Lokhandwala flat where she stays with him and their child, just because she pays the EMI (equated monthly installment to repay home loan). The court, while ruling in favour of the man who pays Rs 90,000 a month for household expenses, said in the current day, it is difficult to ascertain who has contributed how much while purchasing any asset or discharging any liability. “If both contribute to the household,   …[Continue Reading]

Delhi HC judgment in CrPC 125 maintenance, rejects one-third rule, both have income

5 Feb 2015 by 2 Comments

The judgment asserts that there is no strict criterion that one-third of husband’s income has necessarily to be awarded as maintenance to wife. The judgment can be useful to know how judges may ascertain income of both parties based on declarations in affidavit, and some estimation of real income (because people just lie about income).

thanks everyone for your valuable suggestions.

@Ramesh - decree was obtained under cruelty 13(i)(a) and judgement details outlines the incidents provided by me whereever i have provided clear evidence. she filed RCR under section 9.

You won the contested divorce, so only higher courts can repeal it. So nothing to worry about her RCR, just submit your divorce decree in the RCR court on your first appearance.
