Dear lawyers,
my friend has been going thru divorce after 10 years of separation. She and her husband have a son who is 15. He is a special child. My friend was not allowed to meet her son for many years By her husband. Family court granted the divorce and weekly once visitation rights. Her husband was having an affair with another lady and he forced my friend to leave the house. After several years of torture and harassment she was forced to leave the house. She didn't have any job so couldn't take the child with her. Her parents are in Bihar and help her financially. Her maintenance petition got rejected in family court, also her husband is not returning her stree dhan.
she has filed a petition in high court where the divorce order by lower court got stayed. Now when she goes to meet her child her husband sits in front of her and takes video recording of her with the son. The son is 15 and is much stronger than her plus he gets hyper so my friend finds it challenging to control his hands n legs at the same time. Btw the husband has 3-4 attendants to look after the son. Husband takes video to prove to the court that the child's mother is not able to manage him in case she asks for custody.
Husband is also staying with the other lady from past many years. They also harass my friend by breaking her slippers when she is spending time with her son.
Pls advice what my friend can do to avoid such harassment. Also how she can get maintenance and her stree dhan. Husband is very shrewd and plays dirty games. This girl lives alone so it's depressing and stressful situation. Kindly help.
