Thank you

1. You have not mentioned what those proofs are. The content of documentary evidence led by her has to be seen before any opinion can be formulated.

2. It is not clear from your query whether you have filed an application in the court to seek visitation rights to meet your child. If the application has been filed then it has to be decided by the court. Go to High Court with a revision petition if your application is not being decided.

3. You don't have to pull the case back.

4. As a father you have the right to meet your children even if custody is not to be granted to you.

Dear Querist

as per the information provided by you, my opinion on your queries are as under:-

1. During the trail/Cross-examination of her, those documents can be proved as fake, it is the style and strategy of your Advocate.

2. there is no requirement for any documentary proof to prove cruelty, you may prove her cruelty by way of your oral evidence before the Court, so don't worry about any audio or video of proof.

3. File an application before the court for child custody along with the Visitation rights, the court has the power to pass an order in your favour regarding the visitation rights and even for full custody if you proved before the court that you are the best person for the welfare of the child. Being the father of the child, you have all rights to protect the future of the child which is for the welfare of the child.

4.  No need to withdraw the case,  fight the case on merit and don't afraid with the alimony, she may demand in crores but the court shall allow only as per the status and income of the parties, so no need to worry.

5. Being a father, you shall be responsible for your daughter till her marriage, and for the wife, if she is not earning and working then till her earning.

6. if the daughter is minor then your rights shall be decided by the court and after completion of 18 years, it is the choice of your daughter.

you should contest the case on merits. 

you are at liberty to sell your property. 

Are you paying maintenance under a order of the court,  if yes, then you stop paying her then it would amount to contempt of court.

1. Fake stories can only be countered at time of cross examination by your advocate in court if you don't have documentary evidence to prove that the petition is based on false facts.

2. You need to provide some evidence to prove that your wife was cheating on you and also harassed you physically and mentally.

5. Change your advocate who is not supporting you in your case. 

6. You are liable for maintenance of your daughter till her marriage.

7. No need to give any share from your property if you are capable of giving maintenance to your wife and daughter.

8. If your wife is earning then you can make petition for suspension of wife maintenance on ground that she is capable to maintain herself. 

This is strange. She cannot do this to you. You are The child's father.

File an appeal in the high court if the district court has accepted her atory as true without any reasons and evidence.

Don't let her blackmail you. You must be having proof of her cheating.

File a habeas corpus petition in the high court for illegally detaining your child.

Don't give in to her demands.

You can meet her and ask her to be with you once she turns 18 years as she will be major.

You can seek visitation rights for the child 

2) you have to continue paying maintenance for Wife and child 

3) once child is adult and has completed his education you don’t have to pay maintenance for child 

4) your lawyer will cross examine your wife 

Please ask for the device of online message copied and pasted in the evidence. 

Please seek technical specifications of the device and get the device examined from approved technician on the panel of FSL of State or Central Government to match the size, font, length and capacity to accommodate maximum resolution and words in one screen. 

This would help you your lawyer to challenge the versions of your wife by filing affidavit in evidence and reports of FSL to disprove the charges of your wife.

No PF is your perception and personal earnings which you have expressed and exclusively privileged rights to consume and transfer. 

Approach an advocate who is well versed in criminal law. He will guide. Law needs no corroborative evidence, but it is the law of prudence, that requires the corroborative evidence to hold guilty. In order to give definite opinion, detailed facts are required. consult with materials such as FIR, charge sheet etc.

- A photo copy is not admissible in the evidence in the absence of original documents , however whatsapp chats etc can be produced before the court , but it need other evidence as well for proving the same. 

- No such medical certificates will not prove the harassment by her .

- Yes , you can mention the happenings of dogs before the court. 

- Yes, you will have to pay the maintenance , however when you will retire then you can move an application before the court for waiving the maintenance , and further boy is entitled to maintenance till the age of majority . 

You need to file a application for custody and visitation rights. If courts gives to regular maintenance then you need to pay it till she gets married or earns that much so that she can survive without your maintenance

You can make all the pleadings in your case but you may not be able to establish your pleadings in the absence of substantial evidence or any witness to your averments or allegations. 

For keeping your child with you during festivals, you may hav to apply for visitation rights before the same court in the case seeking child custody. \

If the court has passed an order granting maintenance to her, until and unless the appellate court dismisses or if she remarries or upon her death, you are liable to give her the monthly maintenance till any of the above event takes place.

Present the proofs and judge will believe. 

Yes you can say this thing about illness to judge.

This will not go that long.

You may file reports of doctors. Don't file reports of your suicidal thoughts otherwise custody of the child may be denied.

You have to pay or you may settle at a lump sum amount or prove that she is guilty.

1) both parties have to declare their net income after taxes , their investments etc 

2) even if interim maintenance is being wife has right to stay in her matrimonial home 

3) you cannot be forced to stay with your wife 

4) you have to apply to court to modify maintenance order 

The income post anf pre tax should be filed so as to give a clear picture of liabilities. She cannot live with you if cases are ongoing and dv etc cases have been filed. It is the court's discretion to make her live someplace else or along with her parents. Maintenance has to be adjusted. All these issues must be put before the court.

ITR should be filed.

No such law has come into force hence you don't have to be worried about it so soon. 

The wife is entitled to residence till such time she remains his legally wedded wife, it is an existing law and not new law. 

The interim maintenance is granted to her for sustaining her expenses. 

The dismissal of divorce case is different to that of your query about staying together. 

No law can force you to live with her together if you are not willing to stay together 

Maintenance amount is to be paid as per the court order. 

If you are retired after the court order for maintenance you may file a petition seeking revision of maintenance amount owing to changes in the circumstances

Your company 's letter is an evidence to prove your income hence you cannot avoid that situation. 

There lots of contradictory judgements in maintenance case. 

Wife is not entitled to any maintenance or relief if she withdraw herself from society of husband without any justifiable cause. 

For payment of maintenance one's source of earning and capabilities to earn are considered. 

After retirement one is not supposed to have the same source of earning. Nor he has that much capabilities to earn money. 

Further if you have grown up child , he or she is also liable to look after their parents.

So court can not force you to earn money and pay maintenance after you  attain 60 years of age. Court can consider other sources of income you may have like from property or from other sources. 

One thing I should tell you that if you go through various judgements of lower courts high court and even Supreme Court you will find how they contradicts each other. Lots of favourable judgements and unfavorable too in similar cases. 

So it has become more uncertain what judgement you will get.  

Some basic proposition of law in this regard are briefly mentioned here for defence. 

1. An educated and /or working woman is not entitled to any maintenance. 

2. Wife is under obligations to live with her husband in his home and under same roof except in case of distinct and specific misconduct on part of the husband.  The marital obligation has been further buttressrf by clear statutory recognition by section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act. 

3. Sec 125 clearly disallows maintenance claim by wife where she leaves her husband without any sufficient and justifiable cause. 

4. If divorce is granted due to the fault of wife husband can protest maintenance payment by seeking application of natural justice.

5. Wife right to share marital house is provided in DV Act only. If there is any domestic violence caused to your wife then only this right can be enforced based of circumstances prevailing. 

5. As per Supreme Court guidelines maintenance amount can be sanctioned by court up-to s maximum of 25 % of net home take salary or earning. 

6. Most important but not the least,  law must be used as a means of  shield not of sword.

Now most important thing is you must engage one good lawyer in this field who can strongly agree in court either in lower court or in higher court with  citation of favorable judgements of both high courts and Supreme Court  in similar type cases.

Argument with citation and proper explanation of relevant law position can only help in getting a favorable judgements particularly areas where most laws are women centric. 

It my advise search for good advocate,  be mentally ready to challenge the lower court unfavorable judgements if any. 

For any further clarification you may contact here. 

The maintenance amount shall be at 25% of your salary income in which the statutory deductions shall be removed while calculating the Quantum. 

You may have to establish your case with documentary evidences to prove your allegations and the grounds for divorce if you want to succeed in your case. 

Yes, the citation of supreme court judgment shall be considered provided it supports your views and situation. 

Court considers your net income after taxes , number of dependents , standard of living , wife income in determining maintenance 

you have to prove allegations made in divorce petition of mental cruelty
