Hi All,
I am going through divorce negotiations with my wife and she has asked for X amount as settlement. I am prepared to pay upto 50% of what she is asking. She is well educated and knows that she might not get much maintainance if she goes to court.Also she was the one who willfully deserted me and has now approached me for mutual consent divorce.
The period of separation between us is almost 2 yrs.She has not filed any cases in the last 2 years of separation but tried to file a false case in police regarding her jewellery against me and my family but was unsuccessful in her attempt as we had taken all necessary precautions beforehand.
She has now sent me an email that her parents do not want her to stay with them and are insisting that she stays somewhere else . She is saying she is helpless and needs my help which i know is just to extract money from me and justifying the amount which she is quoting. She is saying the lumsum amount will help her start a new life. My question is
1) Is it ok to reply to her email by reiterating our offer which we alreay made for mutual divorce and saying that no further communication is needed if the amount is not agreeable to her. Our local lawyer is advising to reply. I was thinking if there will be any adverse impact of replying and disagreeing to her money settlement amount for living elsewhere.
Any help would be great.
Thanks a lot.
