Legal Question in Family Law in India
Sir,
I and my husband got married in 1997 and lived happily for 10 years and got two female child one is 11 years and another is 3 1/2 years. After the birth of second child i came to know that he has a keep illegally. So there was a slight quarrel and it went to apply for divorce in 2008. But in family court councelling i proved that he has a illegal contact. so the mediator told my husband you wont get divorce unless under mutual consent. so the case became dismissed as he told I will take care of the family. But past 6 months (i.e.) from Jan he has not turned back and he is still having illegal contact and he is sending only an amount of Rs 6000/- as maintanence for 3 of us as I am living at own house bought by both of us. Now I seek your advice how to proceed further?

as you already have residence, you can seek enhancement of maintenance and to support your application, you may stress on the fact that the expenses of your children, on education and other fronts have increased and it is not possible to survive with meager Rs. 6000/-. you may ask your lawyer to go for enhancement application and in case your husband is earning good amount of money, there is possibility of enhancement.
