Hello sir, I got married on 18.01.2017, but my wife refused to live with me at my home and has not lived with me since then. She is currently staying with her parents. I filed for divorce after 5 years under section 13(1)(ia)(ib) of the Hindu Marriage Act, which is pending. Now, after 6 years, she has filed a case under section 125 of the CrPC for maintenance and interim maintenance. My question is whether she is entitled to maintenance despite not living with me at my home since marriage and suppressing her hormonal imbalance, which affects sexual activity.

Can I withdraw a fixed amount from the FD of my minor daughter? I filed a divorce case against my husband on the ground of bigamy and adultery. The family court has passed the decree of divorce. In that decree the court has ordered the husband to create a fixed deposit with tune to one crore. The husband has filed an appeal against the decree of family court. 

He wanted to stay the implementation of the decree so as to escape from depositing the one crore. But in the appeal the high court had directed the husband to make a fixed deposit in favour of the minor daughter. That appeal has been pending since 2011. I want to withdraw ten lakh rupees for the higher study of my daughter. Can I withdraw ten lakh rupees from the FD of my minor daughter?

Family court has directed to pay fifty lakh rupees as permanent alimony: what to do? My file filed a civil suit for the divorce on the ground of desertion and cruelty. She has the evidence to prove that I have been working in Nepal and never visited my native place. My wife is living in my village. However, I also do not want to live with her because I am falling in love with another girl. The court while deciding the permanent alimony under Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act did not examine my financial capacity. Without going into the facts of the case the family court has arbitrarily decided such a hefty amount as a permanent alimony. Please suggest what to do in these circumstances. 

How long can the High Court stay the interim maintenance? I’m receiving only 50% of the maintenance in pursuance of the order passed by family court. The high court  has stayed my interim maintenance order.
