For brief details of my case, see my thread in this forum

I have learnt that my (soon to be ex-)wife has obtained an order from the court for maintenance as well as a stay on my disposing off my house acquired from my earnings long before the marriage.
I was never given a chance for presenting my side of the case, because the wife has driven me out of my house and I am basically homeless. I was totally unaware of any such proceedings against me.
I have been told that such ex-parte orders are obtained by cunning lawyers in favour of their clients by following a relatively simple procedure. Summons are issued but these are diverted through devious means. For example, the postman can be bribed to return registered letters. Then it is claimed that the defendant does not respond to summons or refuses to appear in court, leading to such in absentia orders being issued.
It is like stabbing a person in the back, a heinous crime by all standards.
I am told by my lawyers that these orders can be set aside. Even so, I feel that I have received a raw deal from justice.
