My wife has filed cases against me under Section 498A and Maintenance (MC). I got bail. I haven’t received any notice for the MC case yet, but the next hearing for the 498A case is on January 22nd. However, my wife’s lawyer and the bench clerk postponed both hearings to January 22nd, but the judge was on leave. The bench clerk said the 498A hearing is now on April 22nd but couldn’t explain the MC case. They just mentioned “petition presented and R1 (respondent) is present”. I can’t attend the next hearing. What should I do?

You should immediately contact your lawyer and inform them about the situation. They can clarify the status of the MC case and advise you on the necessary steps to take, especially since you are unable to attend the next hearing. It’s crucial to ensure you are represented and your rights are protected in both cases.

I separated from my ex-husband through a mutual divorce agreement signed on stamp paper and witnessed by a notary. Soon after, I remarried. However, six months into my second marriage, I received a legal separation decree from my first marriage, with my current husband’s consent. Now, my husband has filed a case against me, alleging that our marriage is invalid. I’m deeply worried and need guidance on how to handle this difficult situation.

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?

My husband, a brave soldier serving our country, and I have been married for almost 8 years. This is our second marriage, and we fell deeply in love before tying the knot. However, things took a sudden turn after our wedding, and we haven’t been intimate since. While I tried to understand and adapt, lately, things have become unbearable. He’s been staying in the guest room of our government-provided home for the past month. Despite my pleas, he refuses to return, saying he needs time to think. What should I do in this difficult situation?

As a Hindu woman, I’m going through a divorce initiated by my husband. Our son, who will turn 4 this year, is currently with him. His lawyers have said he’s open to me visiting, but not giving me custody. Can I refuse visitation now and try for custody after 3 years? Will the court consider this? My goal is to get custody after he settles with me financially, and I only want to sign divorce papers after that settlement.
