1) JOB WILL NOT BE EFFECTED UNTILL YOU CONVICTED.

2) YES POSSIBILITY IS THERE.

3) YES POSSIBILITY IS THERE.

4) MAINTENANCE; 498A; DV ETC.

5) HAS SHE BUILT UP ANY RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER MALE? YOUR CASE INDICATES IT. DO NOT HESITATE; FIGHT THE CASE BOLDLY.

Devesh A. Bhatia (Advocate) 27 July 2010

You can file the case where you last resided together. In this case, Udaipur is fine. She can put an application to transfer the case to Jaipur but you should challenge it in the court.

She will ask for maintenance which you should challenge as well on the grounds that your wife has a better standard of living that what you can afford.

If she files a case now, after your filing for divorce, you can pray to judge to dismiss those cases on grounds of her trying to extort money out of you.

What are the grounds on which you are seeking divorce?

adv. rajeev ( rajoo ) (practicing advocate) 28 July 2010

There is no threat to your job.

She can claim maintenance by filing an application in the divorce petition filed by you.

She can also file a 498A case and DV act cases.

Regarding Jurisdiction: To file divorce petition jurisdiction is where the marriage took place or where the husband and wife resided last together. Your question shows that you both were last resided together at Udaipur so it has got jurisdiction.
