Hi,
Only 498a is criminal in nature and nothing happens in 498a as long as you physically didn't harrass her.
Conviction in 498a is as low as 2% but prepare for 4 to 5 yrs of battle.
DVC is just maintenance but only if DV happens final maintenance will be awarded.
If you don't have kids then DVC also gets dismissed.
Remember burder lies on wife to prove which is difficult beyond reasonable doubt.
So nothing happens in DVC as well.
Apart from 498a and DVC she can file crpc 125 for maintenance but multiple maintenance cases are not allowed if DVC already filed.
Then she can file divorce and she can file HMA 24 to ask maintenance again in divorce.
In general all case run 4 to 5 yrs and ends in compromise with "X" amount if both fail to live together.
Just have patience and fight and nothing happens in 498a as long as u didn't hit physically.
Conviction is as low as 2%.
