If wife does not want divorce, & husband wants then how much time it takes for decision???

Guest (Querist) 05 December 2010 This query is : Resolved
Iam the deserted wife, iam not ready for divorce.I tried RCR but it has failed. Now i have filed 125 crpc for maintenance, and PWDV. But iam afraid that my husband can file for divorce. But iam absolutely not ready for divorce. because we had no serious issues, on small household petty fights, my mother in law accused me,inflicted alligations,she influenced my husband to leave me and she wants my husband to remarry. But i love my husband and iam not ready for divorce.
So my question is :-

1) If my husband files a divorce case on me, will i have to appoint a lawyer for me or i can get a govt lawyer, i cannot afford a lawyer,my father has retired. so i don't want to give him so big burden. so can i get a lawyer for free or very minimal govt charges ????

2) My inlaws have no proof about me,beacuse i have no such default,no disease,no Boyfriend,no such relationship.no cruelty,nothing. But i have a cut mark on my arm[ nerve cut]. This is the only weakpoint, and iam scared, coz my mother in law had threatened me that they will try to prove that i tried to commit suicide in past when i was not married, so iam mentally sick and i might again try to commit suicide in future and as i tried suicide that means i have bad character. And as a prove they will show the cut & stich mark on my arm. So my question is can this mark create big problem and divorce ?????

3) If iam not ready for divorce, then how long time can it take for a decision. i don't want divorce. And iam afraid how will i afford the lawyers expense for so many years ???

Please help

If your husband files for divorce, he will have to prove the grounds on which he seeks divorce. You can appoint a good lawyer and defend the case properly. As far as the cut mark on your arm is concerned, then it is nothing fatal and it won't create any such problems as you imagine.

1. Yes, you have to. To get free legal assistance you have to apply before LegalAid-services.
2.No.
3.It can take as many years as you can by challenging each and every order before Higher Courts. If you want to accomplish your goal then you have to try hard and earn hard for legal expenses.
