No now it is too late she will not suceed.

No maintanence to wife if she is staying seperately by mutual agreement . If she is earning HRA  than she cant even claim that you provide her for a rented place but she can claim right to residence if the property is in your name .

But in case you have children and she has the custody of them . Than she can seek maintanence for the children .

Sir stanley jee in this wedlock we have no child and where i am living that property is in the name of my father

stanley (Freedom)     19 February 2013

Than take a rented place and stay . And she can seek a right to residence at the rented place . your father can very well throw the both of you out of the house so you dont have to bother and there is always a option where he can disown you :-)

Marriage with seven years  is considered to have natural death as per law. Hence file divorce and close the matter rather living with self declared agreements.

Sir,they are demanding a very big amount in lieu of divorce and i am unable to pay that big amount.

Her claim under under DV will not sustain in the light of the mutual agreement..If they dont agree for a divorce by  mutual consent then contest it in courts....Don't give in to their demands, they will give in to yours later...

An act of desertation can be a ground for divorce . Hence file for contested divorce and obtain the same . In Mutual consent divorce they demand huge sums.

Sir jee if i go for contested divorce on the ground of desertion and succeded she will be eligible for maintenance what will be the maintenance that i have to pay her as my income is Rs. 18000 per month i do not want to give her a single paisa.I have no plan for second marriage in future. my advocate also suggesting me no need to file for divorce

No Chander, sever years of separation is full ground for divorce and maintenance will be nil or vey low. Good lawyers will argue her continous absence for seven years is natural death of marriage and can be easily dissolved.
