Given the grounds slim chance of getting divorce, try to convince her for mutual .Some times delayed proceedings yields positive results. If she is working u can reduce maintenance. Try to add desertion ground also for divorce.

Q: What extent the implications will be for me in case of a divorce?

I am a 66-year-old male living with my sick old mother and unmarried younger sister. My wife and my son (22-year-old) are living in another city. Since I became indebted due to loss of business, she had not lived with me for the past 20 years. She is still working as a government teacher (permanent post), earning a good salary, own a house, the son owns a car. Now she demands money and property from me for the son's business and sends harsh messages. But the son's behaviour is not good. Though I am 66 years old, I settled all my debts without any support from my wife. Now, I am working as a consultant in an NGO and I own a house (very recently). Apart from this, and a small bank balance, I have no support for my future life. Kindly let me know how much I need to part with my hard-earned money, if a divorce case is filed by her. I have no intension to file a divorce case.

Advocate RS Raghavan answered
she is working and son is 22 years old. It is moral obligation to maintain wife and minor children. in your case he is major and capable of earning. these factors will mitigate your wife claim. so wait till they make a claim.

Advocate RS Raghavan answered
Your query is not clear, but still let me try, if the recent partition was registered then he has no case, in case if it is unregistered then he can file suit for partition, and the said suit will be decided taking all share holder into consideration. Any eviction can be ordered only after offering equal oppiortunities to all the parties.

Q: Compassionate ground job for unmarried sister

My brother (unmarried) died in accident while in service as government employee left behind me (unmarried) and my mother last year. Whether i have any chance to get a job in compassionate ground?

Advocate RS Raghavan answered
yes they are right, you have to approach High court in this regard to get job under compassionate grounds by proving you are the only bread winner for the family and no one else the court will take a lenient view and can instruct the concerned office to take a lenient view . So i advice you to approach High court to get suitable remedy.
