You have to prove that the allegation made by her is a false one in court. I think you have already engaged a lawyer for the case, what is his opinion?

Are you already acquitted of the charges framed against you u/s 498A IPC ?
What is the advise of your lawyer ?

498A charge is not framed

Whether the Police framed the charge under 498A, or not, get an anticipatory bail to prevent your arrest by consulting your lawyer or engaging a criminal lawyer. And you can also get the false 498A FIR quashed by High Court.

Initially you have stated in your post, inter alia, that,
"On year 2016 she lodge 498A against me...."
which you have declined after so much discussions, opinion and advise of experts implies it is a fabricated story posted for time-pass.

You are overreacting to the issues. Your present priority is in pursuing the divorce case, As regards to the complaint under 498A, you are yet to receive the summons for the trial. As such, it is a non-issue.
