• Withdrawal of MCD - Fraud, forcefully and coersion

Can I withdraw the MCD by showing evidences that it was obtained forcefully, under coersion and file a contested divorce case?

Wife commited adultery, have a lot of audio recordings proving the same. Can I use adultery as a ground for my contested divorce case? Will my evidences prior to MCD first motion date be valid?What are the implications with regards to perjury?

She has also breached the terms and restricting my access to son. The terms say that the consent terms become invalid if any party breaches the terms. 


what allegations should I be choosing? What would be a good strategy to follow?

Wife earns much more than me...

Better go for MCD only and not for contested divorce. Contested divorce takes a very long time and its difficult to prove in court, inspite of your having lot of proof for the same.

1) in the event you fail to remain present in second motion divorce petition would be dismissed .

2) you can file for fresh divorce on grounds of adultery but it would take years to be disposed of .

3) best strategy is to continue with divorce by mutual consent only

1. First disclose whether second motion is completed or not.

2. IF second motion is completed and decree of divorce is granted then you have to file a civil suit for declaration for declaring the decree of divorce as null and void.

3. if second motion is not complete then you can simply refuse to go for mutual divorce and then file a suit for divorce on cruelty/adultery ground.
