My husband filed for divorce in 2009, and I filed for conjugal rights. We have a 10-year-old daughter. Despite counseling, he’s only interested in divorce. I’m tired of this. He’s a scientist at DRDO, a central government employee earning around ₹1.5 lakhs per month. He owns a house and car. I currently receive ₹15,000 per month as interim maintenance. I’m an MBA graduate and run a daycare, preschool, and tuition centre. The court has ordered us to complete the case by April. However, February and March are exam months, making it difficult for me to attend court. The judge insists I appear, threatening an ex-parte judgment if I don’t. I’m not interested in reuniting with him. I was thinking of asking for ₹50 lakhs, but he’s only willing to offer ₹10 lakhs. What should I do? How much can I realistically ask for? Would it be better to appeal to the High Court after getting the lower court judgment?

You can file an application for adjournment due to the exam months, requesting the court to consider your situation. Seek legal advice to understand the realistic amount you can demand as permanent alimony considering your husband’s income and assets, and your earnings. Appealing to the High Court after the lower court judgment is an option, but legal advice is crucial to evaluate the merits of your case.

My wife’s parents are very harsh. We got married in December 2015, and she left to live with them, saying I’m mistreating her. I never demand anything from her, but she keeps lying.

What are the steps involved in getting a divorce in India? If both partners agree to the separation, how long would the process typically take?

We’ve been married since February 2014 and have a sweet little one who’s now nine months old. My wife keeps accusing me of having affairs, which is completely untrue. She doesn’t treat me or my mother with any respect, often using hurtful words. I’m at my wit’s end and feel divorce is the only way out. However, I don’t want to remarry, I just want to focus on raising our son. My only regret is that I used to drink a lot, which I’m ready to stop completely. But given her attitude, I’m not sure if we can salvage our relationship. We never formally registered our marriage, and her documents still have her father’s name. How can I go about getting a divorce while ensuring my son’s well-being?

My wife, also a lawyer, has filed a series of cases against me and my family. She’s used 498-A, 125 Cr.P.C., DV, and most recently, 494 and 114 IPC. However, her complaint lacks crucial details like dates, times, and locations. She only provided birth certificates with my name and a supposed second wife’s, but nothing else. The Supreme Court has ruled that proving a 494 offense requires evidence of marriage ceremonies. Given this lack of evidence, can I file a case under sections 209 and 211 IPC against her for false accusations?
