This query is : Open
I and my wife both are Hindu. We got married by Hindu Marriage Act in year 2015. We are living separately since Oct 2017. We have a son which was born in January 2017. We both are PSU bank Employees. She filled a falls 498A case on me and my family just to extort money. She left our son in my custody in March 2017 (when he was just 3 months old).
In 2019 She admitted in her cross of 498A that “she does want to keep her son”. I already filled Section 125 for maintenance of my son in year 2018 as we both are employed and responsible for our son. She filled for custody of our son in Feb 2020 (after 3 years) just to mislead the court and gain sympathy.
She gave her chief of custody case in year January 2024. She did not even bother to give her cross of examination in custody case. In November 2025 her case dismissed by court. She just wasted time of court in these years (2020 to 2025). The filling of custody case was her tactics.
Now in October 2026 she gave her chief in Section 125 (maintenance for son). She said the husband is capable for maintaining himself and his son. She is not any way responsible for maintaining our son.
Wife is making following falls claims in her chief of Examination
(1) My husband is getting rental Income, but fact is I don’t own any house or property at any point of time.
(2) She is telling her Husband income (Gross Income) to show my income (husband) on the higher side
(3) She is telling her in hand salary to the court to show her income on lower side.
(4) She is not telling that she is getting conveyance/Petrol for travelling to and fro for office and home from employer.
(5) She is saying that She is paying high rent (expenditure) for living. but the fact is She is getting rental assistance from employer. So, she has to pay a meagre amount from her pocket.
Overall, she is hiding the above facts and making falls claims just to avoid her maintenance for her son.
Now her cross Examination is pending. Please guide how to prove the above facts in the court.
