What would lawyers/advocates suggest when female approaches?

Almost NIL for wife

Wife files these cases

1.         Complaint of domestic violence BEFORE CHIEF JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE claiming resident order, maintenance, compensation for any loss, etc.

Husband does not have any money. however he has sources in which he can get money like organisations he is part of(does not own it though)...wife has all the money.

would court still order husband to bear all the litigation charges?

Note: Husband has 0 bank balance. No property in his name. Wife is working and getting paid well.

All his property is in wife's/ in law's name.

Defense as of now.

Calm down and don't think so far about litigation charges.What is the stage of both cases and which city?

No cases filed yet. however wife and in laws are threatening with a dowry case.

have told them I do not have any money with me. so now they are taking time to cook up something to get the divorce.

I was actually trying to find out if any lawyer in this forum has falsely implicated dowry against a guy, just to get divorce quickly by harassin guy and his family. I assume they need proofs for dowry cases as well.

does dowry mean "extort money from husband"? ;)

Law gurus need your help on this

Background:

Wife files 498a against husband (wife is working). Husband lost his job or quit his job. Husbands bank balance is zero.

1. can husband claim maintenance from his wife? if so, under what sections he can claim money and for how long? when would maintenance be effective? how easy/difficult is it to claim maintenance from wife? if you remember any similar cases where husband got maintenance, please do share the case number.
2. Husband's bank balance is zero, he can not afford a lawyer. Should wife bear the lawyer fees? If so under what section.

U/s 24 of HMA. Husband can seek maintenance and litigation expenses, but rarely a fit man is granted the same.

if wife is earning , i guess only then u can seek maintainance

..and its quite hard as based on your qaulifications and been working before then it would rarely stand a chance to get as one can always get another job on the basis of prior things..

Your comments brother are Par Excellence..abs true every word of it, i believe..

thanks Zeeshan, Shonee, Aishwarya....

how to delay things at court with out being fined? (this is for 498a cases). like what would most lawyers do to delay things?

on an average, how long does the "false 498a cases" stand in court? 

@Zeeshan: my wife has already started saying most of the things mentioned by you. I guess lawyers have a template which they use it for each and every case. 

do you have any cases on "U/s 24 of HMA" where husband is granted maintenance?

I would like to find out if I fit in somehow.

But Shonee,

U said somewhere that Sec 24 is not applied in void, it requires Sec 13 HMA or RCR as vehical.

Does this mean that hubby has to file these cases 1st, then seek cash under Sec 24?

correct, it has to be in any proceeding of HMA.

Why the author wants to delay the matter?

suppose  wife wants divorce, delay from husband would add more pressure on wife and viceversa. 

Just a strategy to get wife to agreeable terms....any idea how to delay things at court with out any fine/issues
