My husband and I have been married for two years, and I’ve been living with my parents in Hyderabad. Unfortunately, things haven’t been good. I’ve been facing a lot of emotional and physical abuse, and I’ve had to leave him due to the violence. He recently sent me a divorce notice with false accusations. I used to work before marriage but have been unable to since. We also have a five-month-old baby. Could I use a lawyer in Bangalore to respond to the divorce notice, or should I use a lawyer in Hyderabad? Also, considering my husband earns more than 30 lakhs per year, can I request alimony?

You can use a lawyer in either Bangalore or Hyderabad to respond to the divorce notice. It’s advisable to choose a lawyer experienced in family law and who can represent you effectively in your jurisdiction. Given your circumstances, including domestic abuse and financial dependence, you are likely eligible to request alimony under the Indian Divorce Act, which considers the husband’s income, your financial needs, and the length of the marriage.

I’ve been married for four years now, but we haven’t been physically intimate. I’ve been living with my parents for the past eighteen months. What are the legal grounds for my husband to file for divorce in India?

My husband and I got married in May 2012, and our baby boy is just a month old. I’m a government employee currently on maternity leave. Since the baby’s arrival, my mother-in-law has been making my life difficult. She constantly finds fault with me and manipulates my husband against me. He, unfortunately, blindly follows her, believing her lies and creating unnecessary fights. She even tells him, right in front of me, to divorce me and remarry! I’m feeling helpless, especially since I have a tiny baby to care for. Adding to my woes, my husband and his mother constantly ask for money, despite my contribution to the family income. My husband even demands my entire salary without any accountability. For the last two weeks, I’ve been staying with my parents for peace of mind. If they decide to file for divorce, what legal options do I have? I don’t want to initiate divorce, but their constant threats and pressure are terrifying. They’ve even said I’ll lose my son and get nothing in a divorce. I’m incredibly scared and mentally exhausted. How can I protect myself and my child in this situation?

What happens if a woman’s first maintenance request is rejected by the court? Can she apply again?

My wife and I were married on December 17th, 1987, but she has lived separately with her parents since then. Now, after 27 years, she is seeking maintenance under Section 125 of the CrPC. We have barely spent ten days together after our marriage. Is she entitled to maintenance under these circumstances? She has filed the case in Yammiganur, Andhra Pradesh, while I reside and work for the Government in Raichur, Karnataka. Is the court’s jurisdiction in Yammiganur appropriate given that she does not live there, and I am in a different state?

My husband and I have faced many challenges in our marriage, and things have gotten really difficult. I’m trying my best to make things work, but he’s not coming home and his family is siding with him, making me feel like I’m trapped in my own house. It’s been a week now, and I’m living with his mother and brother, feeling like a prisoner. They aren’t even giving me proper meals, and my husband doesn’t care about my well-being or what I need. He hasn’t even started the divorce process, which we’d planned earlier. I’m feeling very lost and confused. Should I accept that things won’t change and move on, or should I try something else?
