My husband and I separated two years ago. I filed for divorce in September 2016. The court has already sent him two divorce summons, but he hasn’t accepted them. I know he’s at home, but he’s refusing the summons. What can I do to ensure he receives the summons? How long will this process take? I filed for divorce in September 2016, and it’s frustrating that he’s not appearing in court.

Under Indian law, you can apply to the court for an order allowing alternate service, such as delivering the summons through registered post or by publishing it in a newspaper. The court may also issue an order requiring your husband to appear in court, and failing to do so can have consequences. The exact timeline for this process depends on various factors and the court’s procedures.

My divorce in 2010 stipulated that my ex-husband would contribute ₹15,000 towards our son’s upkeep and a separate amount for me. He stopped these payments after my remarriage in 2012, despite our son living with me and my new family. I haven’t pursued legal action so far, but now I’m considering claiming the full amount owed. He hasn’t played any role in raising our son. Is it possible to receive support in getting justice and holding him accountable?

My wife left our home a year and a half ago and, despite our requests, she refuses to return. She’s demanding 10 lakhs in alimony. We were married for four years, but she often misbehaved with family members, leading to occasional disagreements. However, these were infrequent and never escalated to physical harm. We sent her an advocate notice to come back, but she responded with false allegations last month. My annual income is 11 lakhs, with a net monthly salary of 70K. I’m 30 years old. My wife, 26, has no income but is capable of working. We have no children. I’m worried about the alimony calculation. Is it fair that she demands alimony despite initiating the divorce without any major reason? She cannot prove dowry, extramarital affairs, or physical abuse. We treated her well and with respect. Since only notices have been exchanged and no case filed yet, will the court consider the lack of a justifiable reason for divorce and potentially refuse her alimony? Can I present a lower salary to reduce the alimony amount, considering I have borrowed money that I’m repaying?

My husband divorced his first wife in 2008 and reached a one-time settlement. He has a son from that marriage, and his ex-wife has remarried. We legally married in 2012 and have a son together. What are the rights of his son from the first marriage regarding property? If the son states he doesn’t want anything from his father, can he still claim inheritance later?

My wife and I have been married for a year, a love-cum-arranged match. Lately, things have been strained. She struggles with managing the household and my family has concerns about her trustworthiness. I’m determined to work things out, but divorce is a possibility if nothing improves in the next year. My question: Could her parents file a false defamation case against us if I initiate divorce proceedings? What legal options might they have in this situation?

I’ve been married for 4 months now, and things have become very difficult. My wife has been struggling with some serious mental and health issues, and it’s impacting our marriage tremendously. She’s been causing me a lot of pain, even resorting to self-harm. She also keeps me away from my family and demands money from me. I love her, but I don’t know how to handle this anymore. I’m considering divorce. What are the legal grounds I can use to file for a divorce in India?
