Divorce

Sir/Madam

A case for divorce and maintenance has been filed by my wife.  I have not objected for the divorce. But have placed my objections for maintenance before the court.  The stage is wife has filed her affidavit for interim maintenance evidence and pending for cross.

However, the case is prolonging without any reason.

What would be the consequences if I do not appear in the court anymore

Please guide me.

If you do not appear in court, the court will give you opportunity to appear before court. If you do not appear even after opportunity given to you, then court will proceed ex-parte and decide the case on the basis of available evidence after striking off your right to defend.

In case of non-appearance from your side, the case will be decided ex-parte and the court will fix the maintenance amount based on the depositions of your wife. That may be a hefty amount for you to pay each month.
