Dear Client

First of all you file a revision petition in Raj HC for the increase in your maintenance amount thru a good lawyer who can present your case effectively. Secondly you may file an application for the contempt and non compliance of the court order in the court which passed the custodial order. Thirdly you may file a fresh appication for the permanent custody of your children subject to the condition that they are willing to resode with you. Dont worry your mother in law cannot throw you out of your matrimonial home unless your husband also leaves her home and arrange for an alternate accomodation to your satisfaction. You always hv the option to opt out.

1. If you do not want your family to break, then you should develop cordial relationship with your husband and settle your dispute amicably. Development of the said cordial relationship with husband can not be demanded as your right but shall have to be developed by both of you.

2. You are qualifying women as ill hearted or well hearted which can not be proved as per law.

3. Leaving matrimonial house for period of 2 years and more without consent of husband is treated as desertion by wife which can be considered as a ground for seeking decree of divorce.

4. However, try your level best to settle the dispute with him amicably.

Hello,

Fight until you win . If you take other steps it means that you are at mistake , so your only way should be to fight and raise your child .

You should immediately file a case under section 125 of the cr.p.c for maintenance and you should have words with your husband without anybody's interference.

If he denies file 498 A of the IPC .

A SMALL ADVISE , IF YOU THINK THAT YOUR HUSBAND is not supportive then you can file divorce and settle for big amount and lead your life happily .

However take any decision wisely.

Further my personal advice when the cases go in court, the family disputes increase they don't decrease further there are least chances of settlement and reconciliation In my view you had long marriage i dont deny you should not fight for your rights but for your children and husband a balance can be created as parents are for few years and you have still got long life to live.

Dear Client,

There is nothing to worry and it is not the end in life. Matrimonial disputes have increased manifold in the last few years and the reason are awareness to your rights, intolerence, lack of patience, short temper etc etc. Look back in history one has always to fight for his/her rights. But cowards only think of suicide. Life must go on no matter how big the sufferings are because every moment of pain and suffering teaches you a new thing. Be brave and strong. Law favours the women and you have enough remedies available. If you need my help you may contact me over phone or meet me at my office.

Firslty, Mam, you please do not make yourself responsible for anythin which have been happening in your life, and please do not ever think about that coward act of suicide.

Secondly, you can file a contempt of the court in the High court for the compliance of th court order, but I would advice you to not o so that as you want to save your marriage not separation for lifetime.

Thirdly, but, yes you may have to file an application for thfor compatible if the order in the family court only so that you may be aloohave e to meet your children.

Fourhtly, all you need is time, to settle your family disturbance.

Challenge the order by means of which less maintenance has been granted to you.

You may challenge the same before the HC.

Also madam please note that no order or court can direct or force your husband to live with you.

If he is not complying with the order of the court and is not letting you meet the children then file a contempt petition.

Do not think of things like suicide.

You will have to act wisely if you want to re-connect.

Court will not help, get in touch with your husband, take to him, go for mediation and sort the issue and if it can not be sorted then separate with dignity.

File suit for restitution of conjugal rights and tell the court that you do not want divorce and want to live with your husband.

You have not done wrong. Tell court the reason for you leaving house and state that you wish to live with them now.

Suicide is not a solution to any problem. We get life once. So live it.

As a legally wedded wife you are entitled for maintenance and residence to sustain your expenses and for a decent living.

If you are unemployed and no sources of income then your millionaire husband has to provide you with maintenance amount and residence equal to his status.

It becomes your duty to prove his income after which you will be entitled to maintenance accordingly.

You can even file child custody case and contempt of court petition if he denies you the visitation rights to visit your children.

If you want to return to your matrimonial home, he cannot stop you from entering into the house where he currently resides.

If he is living in the house where your MIL is also residing, then she cannot stop you from entering into that house.

You can file for enhancement of the maintenance amount by filing a revision before the high court.

You can filer a maintenance case separately in the DV case and also under section 125 cr.p.c.

You can even file a RCR petition seeking restitution of conjugal rights and in that also you can claim interim maintenance under section 24 of HMA.
