Legal Question in Family Law in India

I am in India and my marriage took place on 29 aug 2007 in India after which I went to Usa.I returned to India on July 9 2008 unable to bear his harassment. Now my husband an NRI filed a divorce petition on 31 Aug 2010 in Secunderabad family court and now he wants to make a one time financial settlement and a mutual divorce.

Please let me know as to what are the possible ways and the procedure that I could get this amount securedly and without fail because he says that he would deliver this amount only after 6 months ie after the divorce order is passed.

In your case the best option for you to sign (if you agree for divorce by mutual consent) is the date on which he brings the Demand Draft in the court for the agreed settlement amount. Do not sign any papers till you get the settlement amount. There is no guarantee that your spouse will honour his commitment as he is NRI and it would be very difficult to execute the decree.
