Nitin,

As Raj123 said, Indian court orders will not be valid in US or any other country.

You should be able to submit his India job and payslips and file a case of maintenance.

Let the maintenance petition be registered and summons served to the known address of your sister's husband.

Then, you can request court to order her husband come up with his salary details.

Let the legal process kick in so that the husband is brought into legal procedure.

You can try to record the conversation when you talk to his "female" friend and other fiends and use it as a proof that he is working.

------

On the other hand, It is highly unproductive for a wife to chase her husband's salary details.

If a wife cannot live with her husband, she should have a plan to support herself on her own efforts.

That signifies the dignity of a woman as the mother of a kid.

More than the payslip, the wife needs her husband.

More than she needs her husband, her kid needs her father. It is the birth right of the kid.

This forum hopes that parents live together at least for the sake of the child.

Because a wife can file a case of maintenance and get some money after a long fight.

But, she will never do any good to her kid by denying the kid, the right to live along with kid's father.

Sorry am going out of query

Good Reply Prasad, no way they support them self, even though they have equal rights and all kind of reservations, our legal system has gifted them this types of weapons [including 498A, DV] nobody under stands [except husband and wife], that who's mistake and what is the problem. Whenever disputes arises they dig for weapons]. After marriage both husband and wife mutually involved in all kind of activities, then it's the responsible and consent of both for everything. But dont know why males are blamed.

Hello,

We tried different procedures, but none of them worked out and so she decided to divorce,

regarding 498A and DV cases,well yes we can but if we are proven wrong we will loose the opportunity to communicate at all, may be he can have a upper hand if they were proven wrong in the court,so is there anyway i can find his US salary? else i will have to go with the indian pay slips and he does not have any indian income at all,atleast not on his name.he has everything in the name of his paretnts s cannot prove that its his income.

His indian income in 2011 1.2 lakhs per month,how much income can we ask for maintenance

i was told it would be around 1/3 of his income so may be i can request my sister to claim around 30K for her self and 10K for the kid? if yes then how long will this be paid to my sister?? its like as long as my sister is alive?? or is it like as long as my sister's husband is alive? how long will the maintenance be paid?

Thanks,

Nitin

As suggested and opined above, the order passed by the court here will not enforceable in US, however as a precaution you can get an exparte order and preserve it because it may come as handy when you come to know about his arrival in India to execute the collection.

Nitin,

Being the responsible brother of your loving sister, if you have that much affection for your sister, have self respect and help her to stand and support herself. Or try to reunite the couple for the sake of kid at least....

please do not run behind you in-law salary slips and all....forget it....

BTW, I'm also traveling in the same boat like you...

Maybe it's time for you and your sister first to reflect on why you married this guy in the first place, then to reflect on why and what caused them to be apart and then to think on what future your sister and her child have after this. Money is not everything. People living abroad are not earning in dollars and spending in rupees,they are earning in dollars and spending in dollars. So many people in India sit there and convert each dollar into rupees and think that it's free money to grab. Families should encourage people to resolve issues and move forward TOGETHER not motivate them to seperate for short term profits.

@ Nitin – I do understand your concern regarding the maintenance of the Kid and your sister.

Does your Sister have any education or did she work earlier before or after marriage. And does your Brother in law have any Salary slips of your Sister.

If the answer is yes, then getting maintenance is not possible but for the kid you can get the maintenance.

Even if he doesn’t respond to court notices you may get an ex-parte divorce.

Even if the Court grants the maintenance and if he doesn’t come to India at all or deposit any money to your bank accounts then you can keep roaming to courts. That’s all you can do.

Poor child has to suffer without the Love and affection of both the Parents.

All those who are replying that her brother should support her and not run for in-laws salary. Do they even realize what sh*t they are talking about? Her husband might the left her intentionally with a child and now he is in US earning in dollars and enjoying whereas his wife along with her kids might be suffering and also her brother has his own life and family. He has married her and is legally obligated to maintain his wife, in what world is it justifiable that you marry someone have kids and then leave her to rot along with the kids. atleast if you cannot advise him then don't but stop talking sh*t, think about if this could have happened with your sister and somebody else's might have said this sh*t to you how you would have felt.
