Dear Experts,
In Feb'12, family court dismissed maintenance petition filed u/s 18 HAMA by wife on desertion (of wife) ground that is before the new (property) amendments came into force.
Now my question is
(1) Is the new amendments concern to mutual consent divorce only or can it be applicable to contested divorce only?
(2) If it is applicable to contested divorce also, in my above situation, when maintenance u/s 18 HAMA is dismissed, is there any chance that she will be eligible to file for any maintenance/property under new amendments or sections?
Thank you sir,
Regards
Naresh

1. The new amendments are as yet the proposed amendments.
2. Unless the new amendments are notified nothing can be said about how it would impact the maintenance etc.

Right now, your wife is entitled to maintenance only and wife can ask for it in any kind of divorce.
