Re: Family Law

as per the prevalant laws you may not get ACTUAL benefit from whatever u do in such cases. But ... any step taken by you will certainly be "something better then nothing."

divorce petition is not a bad idea to take precautions.. but it has to be seen what is the real position and for that i will advice you to consult a lawyer before moving any step.

YES she is entitled to claim maintainance, however the quantum and favourablity will depend on circumstances.

Re: Family Law

legally speaking there are no measures which could help you immedieatly in the case under section 498-A. You may file some police reports, but even that also require personal meetings and perusal of facts.You can file a petition for divorce as asked by you, but earlier filling will not be of much help in case u/s. 498-A. It all depends upon the merits of the case. Bad news she is entitled to get maintenance even if she files a case u/s. 498-A. There is no escape unless she is financially independent.

If you want to file compliant before she files that you can do so.
