There is DV case filed by my wife against me and interim order of that DV case is to provide residence to her in my house and give her some monthly payment.
So she is staying in my own house. Now we have agreed for mutual divorce case with one time alimony and she has asked for below conditions and I am planning to agree and we are planning to put these conditions
in Divorce petition. So just want to check if will there be any problem that would arise if she does not appear for second motion of divorce.
1. Half the amount to be paid to her by cheque on first motion
2. She will withdraw the DV case
3. Remaining half amount will be paid to her by cheque in second motion when divorce is finalized.
4. She will leave my house 1 month after total payment.
Now I have below questions.
1. Is there any possibility that she wont leave my house after divorce is finalized and DV case is withdrawn by her. Will she has
right of residence against me after Divorce? Do I need to mention any explicit condition for this in the divorce petition?
What remedy is available to me if she does not leave house after Divorce finalization.
2. My lawyer says better to ask her to leave her house before second motion to be on safer side. But my wife wants full payment before leaving house.
So I have to pay her all the money at the first motion itself. My lawyer says paying full payment at the first motion fine but getting her out of house in utmost priority.
But I don't agree with him because I will loose my money if she does not withdraw the DV case after getting full payment at the first motion and also she will not leave my house as
it is secured by the interim order of DV case. That will be the worst thing for me. So with 4 conditions mentioned above, at least I will get Divorce and DV case will be withdrawn.
3. If we add these conditions as part of mutual Divorce Petition. ARe these binding on both. After first motion(after getting hald the money), she
does not withdraw DV case, what remedy is available to me?
4. Can you give references of any case laws where 6 month period have been waived off by family court for mutual divorce case if parties are staying separate for a long time?
