you can contact MR asish Davesar from this website . he is a senior lawyer practising in Chandigarh for his opinion .
if your Dv case was filed in December 2012 by now you should have been awarded interim maintenance . it does not take 16 months to decide application for interim maintenance
please note that it is counter productive to keep on changing your lawyers . you have changed 3 lawyers till date . better take second opinion as to why for 16 months your interim maintenance application has not been decided
your interim maintenance should have been decided by ask your lawyer for reasons as he only can tell you. no one can advice you as it is not a legal question regarding delay of your maintenance
Thanks a lot sir .

my pleasure
thanks for your appreciation
16 months to decide interim maintenance is unusual for sure, but at the same time it is not possible for me to countenance changing of as many as 3 lawyers by you. Changing a lawyer is an extreme step which should be resorted to only if the lawyer has compromised his integrity, or he is found to be incompetent, which decision should be founded on an intelligible differentia between objective and subjective mind on the basis of material available and existing circumstances. If you change a lawyer then the new lawyer will have to start from scratch in as much as it will take some time before he equips himself with the entire factual matrix of the case which requires perusing threadbare all the case related documents, which will inevitably delay the disposal of case. So changing a lawyer, unless the change is necessitated by unworthy integrity or incompetence, is imprudent and hence counter productive. Take second opinion from another lawyer before changing your current lawyer.
Dear Sir Thanks a lot for your time and consideration. Can my father call you for further advise if needed as he is in Chandigarh only.It woul be a great help for me. Regards Preeti Gupta
