Hi, to transfer the case to Meerut you need to file a transfer petition before Supreme Court of India and in your petition you can state that your financial capacity is weak so you cannot afford to travel and your medical problem. However you can get a lawyer through Legal Aid as well.

Divorce Case can be filed in Delhi as you have stayed in Delhi with your wife, after the solemnization of your marriage.

Your wife can file transfer petition, but since ahe travels to Delhi everyday for her office duties, she cannot plead in the said transfer petition that he faces difficulty to travel to Delhi on Court dates.

1. It can be filed only in Delhi only if you are able to demonstrate that you last resided in Delhi. If she is able to produce evidence to prove that you did not last reside in Delhi the petition will be dismissed on the question of maintainability alone.

2. Better file in Noida.

Hello

You can file a case in Delhi as she is working there. If she is not comfortable then she may file a transfer application in the hc. But if she doesn't then the case will go on in delhi.

It could be transferred in case she moves a transfer application. If you last resided with her at Noida and the marriage was solemnised at Ghaziabad, in any view of the matter, you have to file this case either at Noida and Ghaziabad.

The case can be filed either in Noida or in Ghaziabad. Delhi will not have a jurisdiction since neither the marriage was solemnised there nor you both last resided in Delhi. She can challenge the jurisdiction if you file the case in Delhi.

Yes, it will most likely be transferred to Noida since that is also where you both last resided together.

The divorce case can be filed in the place of marriage or place where both last resided together or the current place of the wife.

So you may decide which would be the best place to file divorce case.

You cannot choose a jurisdiction.

However in your case it is an option to either choose Ghaziabad (city in which last resided together) or Noida (wife's place of residence currently).

Reason:

Section 19 of the Act provides for the Court to which petition under this Act shall be presented. Every petition under the Act shall be filed with the District Court(also called as family courts) within the local limits of whose ordinary civil jurisdiction:

The Marriage was solemnized, or

The respondent at the time of the presentation of the petition resides, or

The parties to the marriage last resided together, or

In case wife is the petitioner, where she is residing on the date of presentation of the suit, or

The petitioner is residing, in case respondent is out of the territory of which the Act applies or has not been heard for 7 years
