Seeing all the various posts have prompted me to ask one question......what happens if the wife is from a very well to do family and the husband is not from as affluent a background....they file for divorce by mutual consent but the divorce is initiated by the husband.....what all can the wife claim from her husband? If the wife's father has his own company and she is on that board and the husband is in service in another organisation....how much can she really ask for?
