My wife and I filed for a mutual divorce in February 2017. The court hearing was in August 2017, and we agreed that I could talk to our children and would pay ₹5,000 per month for each of them. However, she’s now refusing me access to them, moved house, and I was forced out of our home. I’ve already paid ₹10,000 for February and March. Do I need to keep paying child support before the divorce is finalized, or can I start after the court grants the divorce?

Under Indian law, child support is generally considered a separate issue from the divorce itself. Therefore, you likely need to continue paying child support even though the divorce is not finalized. However, you can approach the court to seek clarification on your specific situation and potentially revise the support arrangement.

I’m struggling to make ends meet, earning only about ₹15,000 a month. The family court has ordered me to pay ₹20,000 in maintenance, and I’m also facing separate alimony payments. I appealed this in the High Court, but unfortunately, it was rejected. I’m in a difficult situation, as my income before marriage was also around the same, and due to my lawyer’s mistake, I couldn’t present crucial evidence. I simply can’t afford these payments. Could you please help me navigate this situation?

My wife and I had a secret court marriage three years ago. Her parents were present, but my friend acted as my witness. Since then, she has been living with her family. I want to get a divorce. We are both Hindu. Can you guide me on how to proceed?

Can a highly qualified working woman, married under Hindu law, seek alimony and a share of her husband’s assets in a divorce, even if they have no children and she earns a good income?

I’m concerned about a new law regarding “irretrievable breakdown of marriage”. Has this law been passed by the Lok Sabha and approved by the Supreme Court? Is it being used in courts and is it considered biased towards women? I ask because my wife is threatening to use this law against me. She has already filed false maintenance and domestic violence cases (the maintenance case was dismissed, but the DV case is pending). Now she has stolen my gold and bank fixed deposit receipts.

I’ve been married for almost 4 years, but separated from my husband for almost a year due to problems caused by his father. He wants me to come back, but I’m afraid to because of his father’s past actions. He refuses to acknowledge his father’s interference. I told him I might consider returning if we remain separated because his father’s constant harassment even led me to attempt suicide. He also has a written agreement from my parents stating they’ll be responsible for any harm that befalls me, excluding him and his family. How can I navigate this situation legally?

Previous Article My aunt’s land was sold in 2003 using a Power of Attorney signed by my grandmother. Due to her age, she doesn’t remember the details of this document. The Power of Attorney isn’t permanent and has some suspicious points: the notary date is six months older than the stamp paper date, and there are errors in the document. Can I challenge this sale in court? Please advise me.
Next Article I bought two plots in Bhiwadi through a real estate agent, paying in cash. I later discovered the project was a scam, likely a partnership between the agent and the builder. They provided fake receipts, and when I questioned this, the agent issued refund checks and took back my originals. The checks bounced, and now the agent is gone. The person who gave me the fake receipts is still operating in Bhiwadi. I have copies of the receipts and the plot allotment letter. We were supposed to sign an agreement after I paid 40% of the amount, which I did. But now I have neither an agreement nor my original receipts. How can I recover my money from these people?
