You have the right to live in marital life or get the divorce to go free.

during the time of separation your husband is subject to provide maintenance for you and your child and expenses for the legal expenses for the petition.

please contest your case in the court to get your maintenance allowed by the court and if he does not make payment as per the court orders you can file a petition in the High Court in this regard and High Court will order to recover the amount from his asset as land revenue.

He may be arrested and imprisoned on his own expenses till the payment of the outstanding amount.

After the mediation and conciliation process is over even and if he is not agreed for divorce the court may allow ex Parte divorce in your favour.

You need to file custody of your child along with your divorce petition

Hello,

File a case of maintenance immediately. Claim maintainance for the child also.

He has the duty to pay maintenance if he is not giving divorce. Also file a case for divorce to claim alimony.

You will have to show the court as to what is his earning capacity.

1 If you manage the prove the allegations raised in the plaint in including charges of adultery then you will surely get decree of divorce.

2. However such divorce suit takes time and hence you will have to keep patience unless she agrees for mutual divorce which takes around six months of time.

3. For alimony you can file petition in the same suit along with separate petition under PWDV Act.

1. Your getting the decree of divorce does not depend on his agreeing to give you divorce or refusing to do that.

2. You have filed the divorce suit on appropriate ground for which the Court will hear both the parties, go through the evidence submitted and pass order. The Court may pass the decree of divorce of dismiss your suit. it all depends on the findings of the Court.

3. Similarly, you shall have to produce adequate evidence of his actual earnings. You can inform the Income Tax department about his suppressed income o that his actual income comes to surface. Alternatively, you can engage a detective to find out with evidence his actual income to enable you to claim enhanced maintenance.

1. You are expected to get the decree of divorce if you can prove your allegations leveled against him as genuine.

2. Similarly, if he can prove with evidence that you want the divorce for running your extra marital affairs out of your wedlock then your divorce suit is expected to be dismissed and you shall not get any maintenance.

3. So, take extreme care to prove that your allegations leveled against him are proved irrefutably and his accusation against you are proved false.

Basically, what he is doing is that he is not ready for a mutual divorce. You may still contest a case of contested divorce against your husband on one of the grounds provided to you under the Hindu Marriage Act.

You have filed contested divorce on the grounds you rely upon.

You stick strongly to your case and fight it out properly till the end.

You file a maintenance case separately under section125 cr.p.c

You produce documentary evidences to prove his income properly.

Be in regular touch with your lawyer on all such further issues.

If you are interested only in maintenance then you can inform court about it and withdraw the divorce case.

But he will not give maintenance amount without a court order therefore you will not get any relief from him without intervention or by a court order.

You have to fight out the menace strongly on merits

You keep on fighting the case on the grounds of mental cruelty as well as adultery at his end.

No matter whether you are able to prove the adultery part or not, but then also he is libel to give you alimony for sure.

In the mean time, I advice you file 125 CrPC case for maintenance for you and your child as well.

Firstly if you are convinced that he is having an affair, put a detective behind him and get concrete proof. Once you have incriminating pictures against him, he will agree for a Divorce.

Secondly, ignore him. Do not allow him to play with your mind in this manner. As he was not agreeing for Divorce, you approached the Court. Now the power to give you Divorce is not only in his hands. So focus on your health, your child and your case.

Move an Application for Interim Maintenance. Mumbai Family court takes time to hear the Applications but maintenance would most likely be awarded from date of application.

You have a long fight ahead so stay strong.

You and your child need to file the maintenance petition against him in the court of law with the help of any local good advocate. Try to collect all the evidences about his monthly income from all sources.

There is nothing for too much worry. At this stage all you need is just a good lawyer and proper legal assistance. See the law is very much clear that in the mean time any matrimonial dispute settled, the husband is duty bound to give maintenance to his wife and child also.

It's upon the lawyer that how good he/she argues your case before the court and ask for maintenance because it is not a big task for a good lawyer to take the maintenance. That's I am suggesting you that you should get a good legal advice and lawyer also to present your case in court.

For any further assistance you can call me at +[deleted]. I am a Delhi based lawyer and have settled practice in Supreme Court and Delhi High Court, moreover, I also did many matrimonial cases and have a good experience of that also that's why I am suggesting you that maintenance is your right and you can get it on the very first date of the Court

You can file divorce as well as maintenance application in family court. You can file DV case and maintenance in the same. You can also file application under 125 crpc for maintenance. You need to prove that he earns that much. Need to show his properties etc. Then court will award you maintenance.
