I’m working on a contract basis right now. My divorce case is still pending in court. If I get a full-time job and earn more than my husband, will I still have to pay child maintenance and alimony? He doesn’t keep proper records of his income, so there’s no proof of how much he actually earns. He even skips filing income tax returns. He’s also holding onto my jewelry and scooter, which are in my name, and refuses to give them back. What should I do?

In India, your income will be considered while determining child maintenance and alimony, but your husband’s earning capacity will also be assessed even if he doesn’t provide proof. You should seek legal advice to address the jewelry and scooter issue, as withholding property belonging to you is a legal offense.

I’m going through a difficult time. My husband uses harsh language towards me and my family, and it’s causing me a lot of emotional pain. He has physically hurt me on a few occasions, though I haven’t reported it to the police. We haven’t been intimate in a long time, and he’s not interested in a separation. We have a young child together. I’m thinking of leaving him. Can I file for divorce myself, without a lawyer? And what belongings can I take with me when I move out?

My wife left me just six months after our wedding and filed serious charges against me. She’s demanding alimony and has made false accusations against me and my family. I want to move on, but she now says she wants to stay with me. She’ll tell the court we’ve reconciled, but won’t drop the charges. This keeps getting my bail rejected, delaying the trial and preventing me from presenting my evidence. I can’t even file for divorce. What can I do?

My husband and I have been married for 9 months, but my in-laws are making it impossible for us to live together. They keep sending me back to my parents’ house and my mother-in-law has been very difficult. What can I do?

My uncle, who was previously married, remarried a widow after his first wife tragically took her own life due to family issues. This led to a legal case against him, resulting in a year-long imprisonment. He eventually found peace with the family and the case was dropped. He married a second time to help a widow with her two young children and elderly father. However, within a week, the new wife began mistreating them, constantly arguing with his father and him, demanding a daily allowance of Rs. 1,500 while constantly picking fights. To protect himself, my uncle signed a legal document stating he wouldn’t be held responsible if she filed any police complaints.
