The version of her lawyer has nothing to do with the dispute or merit of case  if any filed.

2. A disgruntled souse has every right to leave matrimonial home and no law forces a party to stay with another spouse against the will. SO you have done no wrong.

3. However if your wife is unemployed person you are bound to give her maintenance @ 1/3rd- 1/4th of your income.

Make a police complain if possible lodge FIR for her threating.Come back and stay in your house. If police do not take FIR file criminal case under sec.156 to magistrate.

Absconding? Is that the exact word used by her lawyer in court?? If it is, you don't need to counter it as it's you who has filed the case; and a person who files any case and appears during hearings either in person; or through his advocate, is not regarded as absconding under the law

Be present in the court and fight the case strongly if you have sufficient means of evidence then you need not to worry about it... And ask your lawyer to represent the case strongly...

You have to produce in court that you are not absconding and you are not living with her because of the quality that she was doing video you can contest the case there may be other instances that you will have to face this kind of words from their opponent advocate but your advocate has to give the answer to these allegations in the court

- As you have mentioned that you have filed a case for cruelty against your wife , it means you filed Divorce case on the ground of Cruelty. 

- It is not cleared that your wife has also filed cases against you as well.

- If, you will not appeared in your filed case , then the case will be dismissed , and it would benefited to your wife.

- Further, if your wife has also filed cases against you in the court of law, then the Court will pass Ex-Parte order against you and will issue warrant against you in criminal case , if any filed by your wife.

- Leaving your house  is not permanent solution , better appear before the court and informed the court , that you have left your house due to continue threatening for life . You should lodge your complaint before the police of your area for the said threatening . 

- Since, you are in touch of her , then you should resolve your problem through concilation and Mutual divorce.

 

Good luck and dont forget to rating positively.

You say you have no intention of evading the due process of law. If you have any evidence of being in contact with your wife, you may produce in in your support.

You just dont bother about her lawyer's expression.

You pretty well know what is going on.

Since you have filed a divorce case against her on the grounds of cruelty, there is no question of desertion, let them prove it which can be countered properly.

Courter the claim of her lawyer by appearing in court and giving your statement. That you are not going to home due to danger from your wife as she is aggressive in nature and does physical harm to you.
