You enter into a MOU fotr this settlement term and also obtain an acknowledgment for the receipt of the said amount in the presence of witness from her side.
If she is not turning up for the second motion and if the Mutual consent divorce case is dismissed then you can file a contested divorce case on the grounds of mental cruelty by adding this incidence as another ground besides other grounds. Also you can file a money recovery suit to recover thie amount because as per MOU she received this amount in order agreeing for divorce on the grounds of mutual consent. If she had violated the conditions or breached the terms of MOU, then she becomes liable to return the amount received by her.
The receipt acknowledging the amount received by her is an evidence to file money recovery suit against her.

Mr. Sanjeev Rajpurohit,
Divorce petition might have been filed by your son and his wife (your son and daughter in-law) isn't it?
Settlement has to be in writing and two witnesses from both sides and attested by notary public which would form part of divorce petition. The Settlement deed must contain each and every condition including 1/2 of agreed amount of alimony to be paid in the court through bank (DD/ NEFT/RTGS etc.) with a copy kept in judicial file at the time of recording statement under first and remaining while recording statement second motion. Such document has to be binding to both the parties.
Your lawyer must have explained it.
