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
