Judge is baised

Dont pay anything until a written order issued by the judge with his signature and seal of the Court .  the verbal orders have no bearings and a judge so biesed can do nothing untill going through a completed proedure of law

Maint case will be decided on merits only do not worry. Prepare strong defence n fight like a determined soldier

If the judge passes a written interim order, then you have to pay up. But you do not want to "take pangas" with the judge as well or else he MAY order a higher interim maintenance.

So if your advocate can get a written interim order for 2k, that will be in your interest.

@shalini

There is some raw method to fight maintanance cases. In some places advocate or judge tells the husband that u star paying few amount so that u can tell the court that u r already paying. finally some amount will be decided near to what you are sending.

But if u have merits in your case then dont pay anything. Read the judgements on various grounds where maintanace was denied by court. some of the examples of maintaance denial are:

1. she is well qualified n doing job or have done job in past.
2. she has proerty from where regular income is there.
3. she has not come with clean hand.
4. she has lied in the court or hidden the facts.
5. she has deserted husband without any cause.
6. She is in adultary.
7. she is married to some body.
8. The amrriage is null n void, etc.

@ Ganesha ji, u r not free from court even after getting the divorce decree.
