Dvc

My wife filed DVC against me and my whole family members. I went for the 1st hearing and received the content of the complaint. Not even a single point mentioned in the complaint is true. Everything is false. In addition to that, she is asking 10 lac as compensation for spoiling her life and 25 lac for protection of her and my daughter along with monthly maintenance. Initially I filed divorce unable to bear her intolerant behavior. In response, she filed 498a and DVC. She has been awarded 7k as interim maintenance. Divorce petition is filed in different court than where 498a and DVC have been filed. Our marriage lasted 4 years out of which we were blessed with a baby girl. My lawyers says get an order copy of interim maintenance and her petition can be quashed? Could someone guide me please? also can she ask any amount like that? I married her without taking a dowry.

Walter for settlement women can ask such amount as one time settlement amount.

She can ask anything but she will not get anything , court can only grant maintenaince to al women, In your case court has already awarded her interim maintenaince .

As you say "I filed divorce unable to bear her intolerant behavior" , have you ever think before filing divorce future of your daughter. After child your first responsibility is your child. Your divorce will ruin your baby life. In your ego and anger you both forget your original responsibility. Have you ever meet any child whose parents are divorcee. I am sure you never take such steps. Anyway answer of your query, she can ask any amount but court will not grant same. Generally maintenance can be 1/3 of your salary. If you want to reduce maintenance then you have to prove her job or her source of income . But you have to pay for baby .
