Petition for divorce and maintainence filed by wife

Makarand (Querist) 15 June 2009 This query is : Resolved
My wife has filed a petition for divorce and maintenance. She has left the house since last one and half years along with children. She is living with her parents with our children.She has taken all the belongings and valuables alongwith with her. She being an advocate, and knowing law, is harrassing us a lot. My father and mother are constantly falling ill, due to this pressure. Many of my relatives including me have tried to resolve the issue. But, she being very egoistic doesnot listen to anybody.Now she is claiming in her divorce and maintaintence petition a very huge amount, basically to harress us and take maximum money from us. I want the custody of both the children(daughters), since she is not concern about them. I have many a times told her to forget the ego for the sake of children. But, it seems she has found her conterpart there and hence not ready to come back to me.One is 7 years of age and other is 3 years. She has gathered many false evidences and charged allegation of adultry and cruelty. She had also filed an application in police while leaving allegating me and my parents that we wanted to kill her. But, the local police on enquiry found the application as far from truth. Even her parents are supporting her. It is very clear that their intentions are not good at all and they are doing so with the sole intention for money. I am living with my parents. I am the only son. The house is in the name of my father. It is constructed on ancestral land. Please advise me as to what stand I should take?

r u in consulting some local lawyer or not?

whether u r getting proper legal help or not?

whether the courts have been fair to u so far?

m asking all this only for a reason that she may not be influencing the court being an advocate.

Try for compromise during counseling section. In the letter you are mentioning about your concerned about the children. If you have real concerned about the children try to take the responsibility of present family problem by yourself and find out a remedy in instead of blaming your wife alone. It is not fine leaving girl children to single parent concept. It will affect adversely. Your children are too small and they need caring and love of their parents. For integrity and coherent relationship certain faults in each other have to be ignored. Bending before a spouse for family solidarity will increase love and affection. Law is equal to all .Your wife could not take any advantage as she is a lawyer.
