Want to protect my marriage from divorce.

Guest (Querist) 22 December 2010 This query is : Resolved
Me and my husband are staying seperately, i have been thrown out from my matrimonial house. My husband is not a bad person but he is under influence of his mother. He is planning to file for divorce. Iam not ready for divorce at any cost because i love my husband. Iam not working, not earning and fully dependant on my parents. so in this case iam afraid that it will be hard for me to afford a lawyer and his expense. And moreover iam not ready for divorce. So my question is ....

1) If my husband files for divorce, can i appeal to court for a conciliation or somthing to disqualify my husband's divorce petition. So that the court doesn't proceed with my husband's divorce case.

2) And if something like this is possible,then what is the procedure ??? and can i do all this myself without taking help of a lawyer ????

If he files divorce petition you can claim the maintenance in that proceedings.
There will be a conciliation stage in the divorce proceedings. Judge will make an enquiry, court always try to make a compromise in the matrimonial cases, so at the time of conciliation you can say your difficulty before the court, definitely you will get the answer, if there is mistake of your mother in law court will advise her also.

I fully endorse the view of Mr.rajoo.

Besides maintenance you can also claim legal expenses from your husband. As Mr. Rajeev said you can putforth your version at the state of conciliation

Many NGOs and legal aid groups also giving free litigation. You can utilise that.
