I belong to delhi and I want to divorce my wife. We live in delhi with my parents and my father is owner of that house. I also own a house in another city Gurgaon which I have declared in my income tax return but my wife doesn’t know about it. I have no problem in providing her maintenance / permanent alimony but I don’t want my wife to claim on my Gurgaon house. Do I need to show my income tax return at any point in the court during mutual consent divorce/contested divorce for deciding maintenance/alimony ? If it is required, is it OK to show just one page summary that shows how much income tax I filed in a particular year but doesn’t show properties I own? Will I have to show details income tax return that shows what properties I own ? is it necessary to declare all assets and properties that I own in court during divorce process.
I also had another house in Ajmer, rajsathan that I gifted to my relative [last month] that is also declared in my income tax return but I don’t own it anymore. My wife doesn’t know about that house too. Will court be able to see this gift transaction in my ITR and include it for deciding maintenance/alimony? Will my wife be able to claim on that house too which is gifted to my relative and I don’t own anymore if she comes to know about that house?
Please reply.
Thanks.
