I’m an MCA, Assistant Professor in Tumkur, Karnataka, working at SIT College. Back in August 2014, my ex-wife (a government medical officer) and I jointly purchased a home for 30 lakhs, registering both of us as owners. We also took out a joint loan with equal EMIs (around 16,000 each, totaling 32,000 per month). We got divorced in August 2016. The court ruled in my favor, preventing her from seeking maintenance due to her government job and assets. Since then, her parents (who were officially recognized as tenants paying 8,000 rupees per month) have stopped paying rent. They’re using their influence to try and force me out of my own home, and shockingly, they stopped paying their share of the loan EMI after the divorce judgment. Attorneys have quoted a hefty court fee of 14.5%, which is about 2.5 lakhs, a sum I can’t afford. Could you please suggest a practical solution that I can manage?

You have a strong legal case to pursue eviction of your ex-wife’s parents for non-payment of rent. You can also seek a court order to compel them to resume paying their share of the loan EMI. Consider seeking legal assistance from a lawyer specializing in property and family law who offers a payment plan to make the legal process affordable.
