@drknshaw, It happens quite often that wife does not know in which company he is working, what his designation and what are his emoluments. Most of the times, if the husbands want to keep this information hidden behind the probing eyes of estranged wife, the wife will face problem to prove all these things in the court to get her legitimate maintenance. The courts know the difficulties the wife faces in such circumstances. Even if the wife knows where her husband works she will not be in a position to prove his income, as it is in exclusive knowledge of the husband. To overcome these difficulties and to help the hapless women, the court devised a method to ask the parties to file affidavits indicating their income, expenditure and bank statements and IT returns. But, in some parts of the country, some courts are not following such beneficial methods by themselves. If you are in such a case, what you have to do is, to file an application simply saying that your husband is working in Singaport from so and so year and you do not know his employer's name and your husband's income and bank details. You ask the court to direct him to file these details. The court will have to direct the husband to do so. Once you move this application, your position will be secured. Even if the court dismisses your application, the appellate court will take care of your interests. So, move application as I said above.
