My case is as below...
- Married on 23/02/2008.
- From first day of marriage she started drama of black magic on her.
- Living separately from 19/04/2008. She was with us for just 2 months. During this period she refused physical relation with me.
- On 22/02/2012 we both signed notary with normal terms & condition for Mutual consent divorce. Mutual consent divorce petition was filed in district court 0n 24/01/2011. On this date she was ready for MCD but after six month refuses for MCD. Till 18 months she doesn’t appear in court. But I appeared regularly for every date in court. Judge had sympathy towards me so he sends notice to her to appear in court through special belief on 17/09/2012 but they refused to take notice & do not appear on next date.
- As it was clear MCD will not be successful, on 05/10/2012 I send notice through another advocate to her to appear in court & cooperate to us for MCD.
- On 10/10/2012 her advocate sends reply to our notice & denied all the allegations. It is mentioned that her signature was taken with ought her knowledge on notary as well on MCD petition/affidavit, which is not true because judge had verified her consent on first motion of MCD and court registrar has also verified all things. Notice also states that DV case will be filed against us if we don’t pay Rs. 25,000 maintenance. (It’s not mentioned whether monthly or one time).
- On 18/10/2012 MCD case was dismisses.
- On the same day i.e. on 18/10/2012 I file divorce petition in family court of same district based on ground of desertion & cruelty.
- Family court counseling was on 26/12/2012. On this date counselor asked questions to both & asked to appear on 31/01/2013 with parents.
- On 31/01/2013 counselor first talked to her & her parents. I think she demanded huge amount. After this I explain whole story to counselor & listen him the previous call recording between me & her. In call recording it was very clear that she don’t want to live with me, she has problem to keep physical relation & she wants divorce from me. After listening the call recording the attitude of counselor totally gets changed. He told that her demand is very huge (don’t tell exact amount & I was ready to pay 1 Lakhs) and it is better to contest the case as your side is true.
- Family court judge has given 26/02/2013 for submitting WS to her.
My Question:
1. Will notary & signed petition of MCD will be useful for further legal proceeding although she has denied it?
2. After 5 years of separation can she file 498a & DV case against me? If files can they sustain?
3. (a) Does length of marriage &
(b) Marriage with ought physical relation
counts for deciding alimony? If yes is there any SC/HC judgments related
to this.
4. In family court how much time will take for contested divorce?
5. What to do if she asked huge amount & I am not able to pay it. If I fight case on merit basis what will be alimony amount. She has already refused maintenance in notary & in MCD affidavit.
6. What steps should I take to reduce alimony amount. LIC/ Car loan/Home loan EMI will help.
