Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Me and My wife reached to agreement for mutual divorce. We both hired same lawyer and then signed the compromise deed.

But the deed was not produced in court or notary on that day.

So we agreed to do it some other day but In another court where she has filed cases against me and my family from past 5 years, her lawyer asked judge to order for maintenance under dv act.

Now my wife has backed out and she refused to do compromise. The lawyer which we both hired has refused to give me those papers as he is bribed and threatened by my wife.

The lawyer has threatened my he will file fraud cases against me.

Now what can I do to save my family. Can she get the papers from lawyer and misuse it. Can the lawyer get it attested by judge or notary through unfair means and help my wife to get money.

Can she use that agreement in court and ask the judge to get her maintenance as i was ready to pay under mutual divorce?

Please help...

Firstly, there is hardly any chance of the compromise deed being misused in any court. Secondly, you should willingly offer payment of maintenance amount to her even before any order is passed by the court.

Since the matter is pending in court, you need assistance of a counsel regularly practicing in that court who may offer better guidance on the basis of your court file(s).
