(III) Argument
Based on the forum’s “Sample Divorce deed” myself & my advocate prepared the deed of compromise like above.
But @ the time of signing… Opposite advocate & My advocate says points 4 & 11 (marked in red color) are NOT legally valid points. This must be removed.
I didn't accept it. The agreement is not yet signed.
Advocate’s Justification is:
è Our human body is belongs to “Govt of India” So that no one cann’t insist/order others as “not to file any case”. i.e. Police only have rights to file any new cases. Hence points 11 is legally not valid.
è Once we put “permanent alimony”. by default she has no rights to claim from my properties in future. So that point 4 should not come.
I told them that I will discuss with my godfather(i.e. this forum)then I will come back.
(IV) Need Clarifications
Clarification -1 : - as per advocates, points 4 & 11 is NOT legally valid. is it true sir ?
Clarification -2 : - If I accept to remove these two point. Legally will it cause any problem in future ? Because here Wife is a Law Graduate/ Husband is an Engineer.
Clarification -3 : I do not have any ancestral property. She only ask divorce, I am ready to give. Say after ten years, is it possible to her, to claim shares from the properties purchased in my earning.
Legal experts can u please pass your comments about point 4 & 11
Thanks in advance
