Hi guys...Please help with a peculiar problem I am facing...After marriage we got the marriage registered and post-registration, my wife legally changed her name from ABC to XYZ and replaced her surname with my surname. The notice was published in the gazette, a copy of which I have. Now, the first motion for divorce by mutual consent is to be filed. She will get X amount as consideration, part of it on first motion and part after 6 months, on second motion.
After she legally changed her name to XYZ, she did not change her name in her bank account or PAN card. She did however started using her changed name XYZ in her office. During preperaion of application for divorce by mutal consent, she said her name is ABC (maiden name) not XYZ (legal name after marriage) so her name was mentioned as XYZ@ABC. She has not done any legal proceeding for changing her name from married name XYZ to her maiden name ABC after she left my home last year.
Now she wants to me to give the DD for part of X amount on date of first motion in her maiden name ABC just because she has the account in her maiden name ABC. I think this will create problems for me as her legal name for all purposes is XYZ after publication in the gazette. I have copy of the gazette.
Please help, if I should make the DD in her maiden name ABC just because she says so, or in her married name XYZ which was published in the gazette.
Thank you in advance.
