hello all.
am very new to this forum and expect some help from experts here.
PROBLEM - Husband filed divorce case about 3 years back and the wife asking for a huge amount to settle outside the courts. She refuses to give divorce in court. There she says, she wants to stay with the husband. BUT fact is, she left the house about 9 months back, left behind two small kids who are now taken care by the the husband. Ground of divorce - no physical /emotional bonding since more than 6 years. Now, as her lawyer is controlling her, the settlement seems a distant possibility. All attempts for MCD have failed. She is just after a lot of money, but husband will have to sell his properties to do that....which he would never do. She has not even filed a DV / custody/ maintanence case on the husband till date as she already earning good and was never bonded with the children. ALSO, The husband got into an affair about 2 years ago and now wants to settle with that unmarried girl. But till the case is settled, second marraige is not possible. Also, the wife is aware of that affair and has few kissing pic's, hotel vouchers, international travel tickets, etc.....which she will use to prove adultery. Other than this, the hsuband's case is very strong as no DV, dowry etc had ever happened.
PLEAD - Please help with the answers on the following :
- Can adultery be proved by abovesaid proofs ? i know its a bit hard to prove, but will these pics / tickets etc bring problem for the husband ? what is the worst punishment he can get for adultery ?
- As he is getting older, he needs to settle down. CAN HE be in a live in relationship with that girl...and make her live in the same house ? a very old post in this forum suggested to lent her a room in the same house, on a different floor, and make her stay on rent and not to get married or have kids till the divorce case is settled. Can this actually be done ? what problem can come after he stays with her in one house ?
- what worst can the wife do in courts or otherwise to prove the adultery ? can she create big problems ? the neighbours etc can say that she stayed in this house, but cannot say that she is phyically involved with him. how will this be proved ?
- Lastly, if they have kids, will this be a major problem ?
Do reply in detail....and help. your answers will help me settling down and give me a chance to taste happiness !!
