Maintainance

Hi, We were married for 5 months from June to Nov 2015. My ex wife had filed a maintenance claim in march 2016. She kept skipping the cross examination date until last month. During the first cross examination she agreed to the following , she has a new job with sufficient income, she doesn’t wish to stay with me, Including the facts such as she was threatening me to file false police complaints to teach a lesson etc in the proof submitted by me in the court. All her submissions were proved to be false. However she has stopped coming for 2nd date of cross examination and is asking for a large sum as settlement. As per my lawyer, the court would still grant some interim maintenance irrespective we have a strong case. I hv the proof of their marriage expense and willing to pay that but they are not accepting the offer to close the case. Could you pl suggest a future course of action if she still doesn’t show in court. What if the judge decides an amount exparte in her favour which is unreasonable. Or can we file for divorce as she is not coming to court. Other options to put pressure on them.? Thanks for your advice.
