Legal Question in Family Law in India
wife deserted me in April 2014. In December 2014, she sent me mcd under 498a notice. Till date 24 dates have passed of which 15 dates she has remained absent. She did not attend cross-questioning also. She is staying with a married person having illicit affairs with him. My daughter since then has been with her father who is drunkered and violent. My lawyer says he does not want to get case dismissed nor ex-parte so that she does not transfer the case, reopen the case, or put maintenance case after some months after case dismissal or ex-parte. How to get the custody of my daughter who will be turning 4 yrs coming July and avoid giving her any maintenance? Her lawyer is insisting on maintenance. I have not seen or met my daughter till date since separation?
