Unusual deposit being made in the name of the child what should i do


22-Apr-2023 (In Family Law)
We are living separated for the past 3 years and a divorce case has been going on for the past 2 years. I had filed for divorce and the court has allocated 6 months before the next hearing. There is no maintenance request filed by me. Our marriage was full of abuse and cruelty and harassment. When we were together there were no savings which were being made as he was a regular job changer and behaved in a mentally abnormal way as well giving torture to me and my son. In the last hearing he sought to open a new bank account for my son and I shared the account number with him. Since the last 30 days there is a disproportionate deposits being made in the said. A sum of Rs. 30 lakhs has been deposited. Sir, I am not sure what is the intention behind or is this a new way to harass me. Looking at the amount, this is not a normal behaviour for a person. Is there any legal hurdle which I may face because of these deposits. Is he is trying to influence as if he was taking care of us. what should i do in this situation?

You must inform the court of the situation you have been put through. Depositing such amount will be taxable and you and your child can be questioned by the Income Tax department. You are requested to inform the court by updating your pass book.

Take the suggession to your appointed Ld Lawyer, what is the leatest position of your Divorce Case. you Did not say age of your son. That's why it is quite impossible to give you proper way in this regard. But in respect of huge money in question, you can have every right to use the money in your own purpose or your son's purpose as per direction of any TAX CONSULTANT POSITIVELY.

As the divorce is not a mutual one, he may show that the deposits made into the account are being misused and misappropriated. So it is better not to handle the account without a formal order. So in your next application state the facts with a order to withdraw money subject to providing statement of accounts showing utilising of the money on your son. You must keep all receipts in hand.
