Dear experts,
I married a girl, who is my close relative 2 years back, in a simple way at a temple without any dowry etc.
She has doen her B Com degree not working after marriage and am a Diploma Engineer, working in Gulf region for the past 6 years.
Both of us were in good relation for the initial 5 months. While i was in gulf, she was not talking to me properly over phone and whenever I came back from the gulf on my vacation she never loved me as before. All these because of her mother and sister, who were constantly washing her brain, in order to snatch all my earnings towards them. Meanwhile we had a baby boy and now he is one year old.
I even begged her to come with me live in Duabi, for which she completely refused to stay/live with me anymore and only thing she need is money from me.
Having ged up of all these, I addcited to alchohol whenever I came to India (my vacation is not more than 10-15 days per 6 months). (Of course, before this also I was driniking, but not that much).
Eight months back I filed a divorce case and she also agreed for the same. During counselling stage she alleged that because of my drinking habit only, she is begging divorce from me and planning to demand a hefty amount, as I'm working abroad.
Now, my question is,
- How much amount I may have to give her as maintenance cost?
2. Since my ALL jobs in abroad till now are always project based and have no gurantee of the job, how
to pay her, if I become unemloyed, after my each project? (my unemployment period will be 3-4 months per year)
3. If I wish to pay her a lumpsum amount, what could be the approximate amount (She is demanding 15
lacs. and I'm earning nearly INR1 lac per month, net salary)
My lawyer is also not co opeartive with me, i.e. he is not giving me any advice /suggestions in this regard., even though I have paid him full fee of INR25 000.
Kindly advice, as this month 5th I have to attend the court in Bengaluru.
Respectfully,
ANK
