Re: Maintenance Pendente-lite

Facts appear like fairy tale. In reality such things never happen. One of the possible cause appears to be lack of good advice with good counsel to put forth the same before the Court.

In such circumstances, You should be consulting & engaging a good senior counsel with all the details/documents of your matter.
