My DV is case is going on. A small amount of maintenance is ordered. Magistrate on training for the past four months. Next week there is a date. It is evidence of the complainant. Complainant has skipped giving evidence on some pretext or the other for many dates. She doesn't have.
I have paid maintenance for only one month. When OP lawyer asked for arrears, magistrate asked for evidence. After that they evaded evidence and magistrate went on training. My lawyer spoke to me about the arrears and said that OP may put a memo for arrears on the next date..Lawyer wants me to pay arrears so that it is easy for him in the court. He forgets that we have hired him to save money for us.
I would like to obey court orders very much. But circumstances are not favouring me. I am barely able to make both ends meet as my parents' medical bills also eat up into my meagre earnings. I am not eligible for any kind of loan. My parents can't even stand guarantee for a personal loan as they are themselves defaulting the bank loan repayments due to change of circumstances.
Next option is taking some hand loans from friends and relatives. Those doors are also shut as wife herself called up or visited each and every one of my friends and relatives after I applied for divorce and has painted a villaneous picture of my family and me. Suddenly we have been transformed from a decent, loving, lovable family to the most despicable characters. She has tarnished our image to such an extent that they are not even answering our calls.
Under these circumstances won't it be right on my part to apologise to the court and pray for some more time on humanitarian grounds?
My lawyer simply runs the show on a routine basis. It really doesn't matter to him whether we win , lose or perish. That's ok. Harmless attitude. He is going to ask why we should rake up the issue.
my plan is to keep this petition notorised and once the OP gives a memo for clearing of arrears I will hand over this petition to the court. Of course my lawyer cooperates once we take a decision.
i am not regretting that the Fatty, nourished, idle complainant is not receiving maintenance. But I don't want the court to think that I am defying the court orders.
Expecting a quick reply form all the experts. I have suffered enough at the hands of that cruel wife for treating her like a princess for 6 long years.
This may not be the norm. I am only asking is there any harm in voluntarily telling the court about my present helpless situation for not following court orders?
