Re: return of maintance

Yes, it is your fault; you need to be alert in ensuring that she receives the maintenance amount; you could send the draft directly to her address by registered post or your lawyer could deliver the same to her lawyer against receipt. Moreover, these days the banks have electronic deposit system; In future you may obtain her account number and transfer/deposit direct to her account.

You may consider an amicable out of court settlement to bring this litigation to an end which may be ultimately tiring and expensive with uncertain and at times unwanted results.
