It appears from the facts stated that the limitation period was over the long back for further appeal. If the summons are not served or if there is an element of fraud that came to the notice of the respondent, there is a possibility of extending the limitation period from the date of knowledge. A competent local advocate may advise you if there are such chances.

When did you come to know about the ex-parte decree, limitation starts from the date of knowledge. However, is it possible that the respondent did not come to know the ex-parte order/decree passed against him/ her regarding maintenance since 1997 i.e., during past 24 years ? Whether the decree holder did not file any execution during last 24 years, which is impossible. However, if the DH did not move execution, it is barred by limitation after 12 years since 2008.
