Dear Learned lawyers,
This on behalf of one my closest friends from Kolkata.
He has been going through a divorce procedure consented mutually. Now, two problems which are bothering him are as follows:
a)MOU he and his ex agreed upon says that articles received during the marriage ceremony by both parties shall be returned to the respective parties. But the MOU does not say anything about the articles in specific. Now, after six months his in-laws are coming out with a list which includes a couple of valuable articles (amounts to one lakh) which had not come to my friend's possession at all. Since he does not have any receipt or any other document to prove that, it stifles him from acting upon.It is a sheer display of malevolence from the girl's side which they are perpetrating throughout the divorce procedure by remaining non-cooperative. They want to fetch more money from him by one means or the other.
b)His five year old son is staying with her mother in Asansol, 200 KM from Kolkata. My friend got visitation rights to meet his son thrice a month.But his in-laws and ex are showing strong unwillingness to comply that. Often they cancel the meeting against reasons trivial and irrational as well. Moreover, the notion they are creating of my freind and his family in the child's mind is not good; so much so that often he finds his son in a mode of refusal which is painful. Besides, despite urging several times they are not keeping my friend in the loop regarding his son's health issues and his educational status and progress.
Kindly suggest what kind of legal actions my friend may take against those.
