Legal Question in Family Law in India

I got married in 7 years back, I observed abnoraml behavior in her, later(5 years back) I found that she has mental illness , took to Doctor and doctors gave report that she has problem from 13 to 14 years of her age. I Waited 3 years later to see if she gets cured with their family support, but no use, so went to divorce 2 years back, her father asked to give some money(5 lakhs)1 year back, we kept that amount in joint account saying will give after getting papers, But he did not come to court. Now he is asking 4 times of that money. Do I need to pay almoney, I have all medical evidence of her. Also have the documents they signed and agreed saying that she psychological illness. With the reports I have can reduce the almony? How much I have to pay? Will court decide if he is not going to take 5 lakhs? If decides how much court may decide? He is asking 20

Dear

Court is not going to decide anything in MCD.If both parties do not come to a settlement, MCD is not possible. Then you have to file a contested divorce. Yes, she is entitled to alimony/maintenance. Even if you file a conested divorce and wins it, you have to pay maintenance. In your situation I would advise you that if they agree on 5, its ok otherwise file a contested one.Don't succumb to blackmail. I am here to guide u.
