I got married 8 years ago. and at the time of wedding i was given Rs. 15 lakhs , 80 tola gold and all household items... i was workng and staying in a city X which is my inlaws place my huband's family and husband kept totruring for more demands for money to buy flat ,hit and abused me. I was hit and pushed down the bed when i was carrying my child. Almost Rs6 lakh of salary has been taken away by spouse.

I have children and the entire amount i.e. 15 lakhs + gold and household items are my hubands house in city X. I was forced to leave my job and tortured to go to my parental house which is city Y.

I have filed DV case in which my spouse refused to taken the summons. Three bailable warrants had been issued by judge to serve the notice through S.P. however there has been no response as spouse lives in a different city.

And my spouse earns more than 1.5 lakhs pm..

Seems you are employed, hence there won't be any maintenance to you. Your husband would be liable to provide maintenance for the child.

You can claim:

Maintenance

Rent

Compensation for earnings

Restoration of Stridhan

Interim Custody of the Child

Litigation Exepenses.

How much of these you would get would depend upon how much you can prove from your allegations.

1. If your allegations are proved than a protection order would be passed .

2. You have not stated the salary you earn , normally a working women is not awarded maintenance .

3. As for the child maintenance is co- extensive .

4. If the husband states that he does not have a problem keeping you at his place than no rent would be passed .

5. From your post it seems the children are already with you , Once you have filed DV act the custody remains with the wife . Only visitation can be granted to your husband under this act . If your husband files custody under gaurdians and wards act than custody would be awarded to the parent based on whose interests the welfare of the child lies .

Thnak u so much..Shonee Sir and Stanley sir.. kindly tell if there will be an exparte then how would it be executed..and what should i do from my end.

A regular order or an exparte order will be executed in the same manner as prescribed in the law.

Adv. Chandrasekhar (Advocate) 03 June 2014

If your domestic violence case petition draft has included your money he has usured, you can claim it back in addition to the other reliefs mentioned by other advocates / experts. The recovery procedure will be at the first instance by attaching his property and in the absence of that, to put him behind the bars for realisation of the amount awarded by the court. But at this stage, you need not bother about execution process, because once an order comes out in your favour in DV case, he will take appropriate action to get the ex-party order set aside and contest the case on merits.

before going for ex-parte order tell your lawyer to file for the custody of your stridhan from your husband and also as said for interim maintenance for your children and the other process will go as per it status
