Advocate Priyanka answered
Dear Client,1. Based on the facts stated, mere suspicion of an extramarital relationship without cogent evidence is not a valid ground to deny the wife's legal rights. If the husband files for divorce, the wife may be entitled to claim maintenance/alimony, child maintenance, residence rights, and other reliefs, depending on the facts and financial circumstances. A detailed legal opinion can be provided after reviewing the complete facts and documents.2. Consult an advocate to discuss your case in brief.3.

Q: My wife is not willing to live with me for my health condition income

She is not interested to live with me...but she wants to live seperated . What should I do .

Advocate Priyanka answered
Dear Client,1. If your wife is unwilling to live with you and wants to live separately, first try reconciliation through family elders or mediation. If reconciliation fails, you may seek Restitution of Conjugal Rights under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, if you genuinely wish to resume cohabitation. If she persistently refuses to cohabit without reasonable cause or the marriage has irretrievably broken down, you may consider appropriate matrimonial proceedings, including divorce on legally recognized grounds, after obtaining legal advice based on the facts of your case.2.

Q: How to Check Divorce and Family Court Cases in Tamil Nadu?

What is the procedure to check if a person has filed or is involved in any divorce or other family court cases in Tamil Nadu? Can a lawyer search pending and past matrimonial cases if the case number is not known? What details are required (name, spouse's name, address, etc.)? Can this be done through the e-Courts portal? What is the usual lawyer's fee for conducting such a search and providing the case details?

Advocate Priyanka answered
Dear Client,1. Yes. A lawyer can search pending and disposed family court cases through the e-Courts Services Portal⁠� or by conducting a court record search in the concerned Family Court. If the case number is unavailable, details such as the party's full name, spouse's name, approximate address, district, and relevant time period help narrow the search. Results depend on the accuracy of the information provided, and not all cases may be searchable by name alone. Professional fees vary based on the scope of the search, the number of courts involved, and the time required.Thanks & regards, Priyanka Advocate Coimbatore
