Hello Ld. Members and Seniors,
My name is Ajay from Pune. I seriously need your advice on the following matters.
My wife along with 1 yr daughter left me and my son 2 yrs old and went for brothers marriage in July 2010. After that she never came back. After going in Sept 2010 she filed a case against me that I have kept my son forcefully. But the allegation that were made by my wife that I have kept my son forcefully were rejected by the H'onble JMFC court and granted the custody of the son to the father that is me. In Aug 2010 I filed for RCR and the H'onble Session Court issued ex-party order in favour of me i.e. Husband as wife never appeared in the case. Judgment was that from Dec 15, 2010 wife should return back to husband house within 15 days i.e. by Dec 30, 2010. She never came back. After that in Feb. 2011 wife filed DV case against me. While this case was running my (husbands) advocate requested the Judge that the husband is interested to co habilitate with wife. So the court asked the wife if she is will to stay with husband to which she responded that she would like to stay with husband. After that on June 2010 wife returned back to husbands house along with daughter. Due to her frequently talks with her parents she started to behave abnormally and finally she said that she doesn't want to stay with husband. Also said that she doesn't even want the daughter. So on Aug 2010 she ran away from the court leaving both the children with me. I told her that I will hand over her to her parents in court. But somehow she managed to escape from the court premises. The DV case started again. Now the negative part on my side was that the judgment was made in April 2011. In that DV was in favour of my wife because my wife's evidence was lead but my evidence was not lead by my advocate. Reason was my wife's mother's evidence was not lead so my advocate told the judge that my evidence will also not be lead. This was a very big mistake that my advocates did and the case turned on me. So the judgment was issued that the husband need to pay Rs. 5000 to wife along with children from the day the application was filed i.e. Feb 2011. We told the judge that the children are with me so how come I need to pay Rs. 5000 to wife. The judge said to solve the matter outside and the judgment is already been made. Another mistake what I did is that I never appealed to that judgment. I started living with my children and my mom. I was not paying her Rs. 5000 per month but after all the expenses of my children my mom's and my medication (mom is BP patient and I husband is Diabetic patient). I paid her Rs 1000 per month.
Wife never collect the amount that I paid in the same court. Now in Jan 2012 she file a recovery case that a huge amount is pending with the husband which has to be recovered. So she file a case against me requesting to issue a Non Bailable Warrant against me to recover the pending amount. This case is still running and I have got the next date as May 3, 2013. Also when I had gone to the last date I came to know that the wife is filing another case under Sec 21 of Domestic Violence Act. I believe that this case she might have filed for getting the custody of the children and some more things. I am yet to receive the summons for this.
My question to all Ld. Member and experienced members is:-
1. Do I need to pay the whole amount from the date the application has been filed i.e. from Feb till April 2012. The amount comes up to 1 lakh 30 thousand. In this I have paid only RS. 14,700/- one thousand per month. Now since the children are with me and I am taking care of their schooling medical tuitions clothes stay food and other expenses. Both my son and daughter are going to the best schools (English medium). Please advice me on how can I reduce this lump sum amount. How can I convince the judge. I am a 10 fail person and my wife is studied till 12 class. It is very difficult for me to manage everything due to my education background. Wife is capable to work but she is not working and relying on me. How can I tackle this situation?
2. Also the second case that my wife has filed asking for the custody of both children. It has been almost 2 years that children are staying with me. Now I am very much sure the reason for her asking the kids is only money. She has never shown interest in kids before. I have all documents bills receipts that I am taking very good care of children and they are very happy staying with me. Please advice me how I can tackle the case and win the custody of both my children. Currently my son is 6 yrs old and daughter is going to be 5 yrs old. Son has gone to Sr. KG and Daughter has gone to Jr. KG.
I heartily request all Ld. and experienced members to help me to fight for my cases and get back what I have lost. I love my children and don't want them to go away from me.
Awaiting for your response.
Ajay
