Yes the summons can be sent to last known address and if that returns unserved than a notice through newspaper can be given.if it is also unanswered and in that condition an exparte decree can be granted.

The joint property is owned by both of you so it will be disposed accordingly as both are owners irrespective of you paid emi.

Hi you need to file the divorce petition as the normal petition putting the known address are address of her parents to send the notice. The court follows procedure to send summon to opposite parties by post and by Publication in newspaper as well in case opposite party not appeared for the case then an exparte decree may be passed.

For department that you bought and paid 90% of its cost you need to file a title suit for the ownership of the flat

You ha e to send summons st her last known address

2) if summons is not served court would direct you to opt forsubstiuted service ie paper publication

3) you would get exparte decree if wife does not contest divorce proceedings

Hi,

It is suggested that you mention her present address, if can be obtained from her office and her office address also. This will be apart from her last known address. If she receives summons/notice, the same can be used in case. Else, proceed as suggested by lawyer.

Yes the copy of summons is to be sent to her parents house it is better if the notice is served as the exparte decree can be easily challanged on the ground that it doesnot involve wife in the proceedings.

you can seek to serve summons at her last known address as well as per parents address

Hi, you can file a contested divorce petiton on the ground of mental cruelty .. However , you have to send summons to her parental address or any other address where you can satisfy court she has been residing .. If she do not appear , court can grant a ex-parte divorce

1. Engage the services of a private detective agency to locate her present postal address.

2. After getting her exact location, initiate the divorce proceedings against her for abandoning the marital life and causing cruelty to you without any reason.

3. Regarding the joint property, if the documents of title are in joint names, then she is entitled to her share in the property whether she has contributed to EMI payment towards the property or not.

4. If the summons to her last known address cannot be served then publishing the same in local language and English newspapers would suffice. If she ignores then chances of ex-parte divorce, in your favour, is imminent.

1) You can file it from Bangalore and sent one copy of summons to her parents after filing for divorce in the family court.

Normally summons are sent by the court itself but your advocate may do so on your behalf.

- Try finding out her current address in Bengaluru. Seek help of mutual friends and family. Otherwise, you can use the address of her father's house, which in any case would be the permanent address of your wife.

- Post divorce, you both will continue to own this property jointly, unless there's an arrangement to the contrary.

Yes, use her Gorakhpur address in filing this case.

How to file for divorce since I don\\\'t have address, is what my this said really possible?

Your lawyer is giving you the right advise, you may follow his advise and act accordingly.

- How about joint property

Since you have re paid the loan therefore your wife will have no claim over the same

The case will be filed in Bangalore only and put in her last known address and also put in her e-mail ID and make the service of summon by means of e-mail also.

Regards

You can appoint the private detective and get her address easily,. Try my suggestion

A lawyer said since I don\\\'t know her current address in Bangalore, we will.send summons to old address (last residing place together) if no one receives, then we will put in newspaper. Finally chances are court will grant ex-parte divorce.

- How to file for divorce since I don\\\'t have address, is what my this said really possible?

- How about joint property

The lawyer suggested you the proper step under the circumstances, hence you may follow it.

The property since owned jointly as well as she being a co-applicant, it shall devolve on both of you.

Will the course also ask me to forward the notice / summons to her parents living in Gorakhpur? But I am in Bangalore and so is she (as last known) and I will be filing the case in Bangalore.

The court will not ask yo to send it her Gorakhpur address.

Dont stretch your imagination to that extent.

You may furnish the address where you both last resided together.
