Legal Question in Family Law in India
I filed divorce petition against my wife on the ground of �physical cruelty, mental cruelty & deserting of husband�after that she filed case against me U/s 24 as (Pendente Lite the cost of litigation expenses & maintenance charge) and U/S 125(maintenance charge). But in her final written statement she finally mentioned that she will not divorce me, she wants to stay separately ie her parents house & requires maintenance and wants contested the case. But I want to divorce her, bcoz it is not possible to live together. On the other hand, the maintenance charge u/s 125 is under process in court. Now, I want to know, can I stop maintenance u/s 24(Pendente Lite the cost of litigation) & monthly maintenance charge u/s 125. Is there any process? Bcoz I am a very poor boy. Our financial condition is very bad. No income source. We have been living separately since 25.08.2012. Please sir advice me in this regard. How can I stop maintenance? (We live in Assam).

present you case before the court that you have no source of income and may be the court might relieve you of the payment of maintenance. But this is a chance only usually one is liable to pay maintenance to the wife. You may drop in a detailed query at [email protected]
