1)both cases would be clubbed together

2) wife has only 50 per cent share in flat

3) working wife is not entitled to maintenance

4) no need to bow down to wife black mail tactics

.Husband and wife have a property on jnt name wherein husband is the first holder and wife is the second holder..the emi is being paid by the husband.

The property shall be jointly owned property. She may claim the other half too besides her own half share in it. You do not have to budge to the pressure.

.the wife is educated and is working and asking for maintainance

Bring this fact before the court and highlight the various settled laws of supreme court that an highly education women cannot sit idle at home and seek maintenance , if that is so the working women cannot even dream about seeking such maintenance. Working women with handsome salary re generally not eligible for maintenance.

when tried to sort the matter amicable the wife has demanded for a 100% loan free house.the wife is filling petition on petition and is trying to delay the dates for cross question.

You should not budge to any pressure tactics. Let she file any petition, you can challenge them properly if you have merits on your side.

she has only right of maintenance and share in joint property [ if separable ] so don't bargain you must contest and try to prove her case baseless. if any of her case is dismissed for want of evidence or baseless allegation you may immediately take this in your defence and pray for divorce on the ground of cruelty. Filing of false cases constitutes an act of cruelty.

court has power to merge both cases and convert it into divorce or RCR petition. Both cases can run concurrently and later on the stage of evidence it can convert into divorce or RCR.

If possible try to settle this issue amicably and without interference of court.
