Reading: I filed a maintenance and domestic violence case against my husband in the Indore Family Court. He or his lawyer hasn’t shown up for three hearings. He wants to compromise and come back home, but I don’t want to go back. I’ve been living with my children at my parents’ place for the past seven months. They’re struggling financially and can’t support us. My husband isn’t providing any maintenance, and I’m facing financial difficulties. What can I do?

Under Indian law, your husband’s absence from hearings can be considered a default, potentially leading to an order in your favor. You can approach the court to seek interim maintenance to address your immediate financial needs. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer for guidance on the next steps and to ensure your legal rights are protected.
