Dear Sir, Maam,
Need your expert advice on my situation. I have been married for almost 3.5 years now. In these year me and my husband had many diffrences and many a times i left his house and went to my parents place. These diffrences has increased recently and he has started showing complete ignorance towards me. Recently he asked me to leave his house and i am since 19th nov staying at my parents place and asked for mutual divorce in front of my parents. I have been asked to leave my job when i got married and take care of the house. My mother in law being a schizophrenia patient has mentally tortured me in these years by abusing me and my parents and accusing me for not able to conceive in all these years. My husband is a business man, my father in law in a financial chartered accountant. My husband monthly income is in lacs but he used to give me only six thousand and my father in law used to give me 4 thousand for my monthly expense. Since November last year from the time i have come to my parents house he has stopped giving me any money. I dont have any job in hand currently. What i can make out is that the entire family is very clever in dealing with financial matters. As per my father in law request, my husband had opened an account in my name of which i have no information. i do not know the account number and dont even have the pass book or cheque book. i have never operated that account. my husband transfer money in that account to pay his employee and also to show that i am working in his office and to pay me as well.But i have never recieved any money from that account. Also he purchased a car in my name, i dont know why, but i feel to save from some tax and all.
I know to apply for divorce we both need to stay seperately for a period of one year. But i want to know, in the meanwhile till i am staying separate from him, is he not liable to atleast pay me my monthly pocket money for my living which he has stopped giving. What can i do to claim my rights. Also, i was not allowed to take any jewellery from my inlaws house before leaving. I want to know of my rights till the time i do not get a divorce as i feel my in laws are happy that they do not have to pay any penny from their pocket and also are safe from divorce for another one year.
Need your help urgently. Awaiting your response.
Thanks,
Tanu
