Can a divorce decree be challenged ?


17-Jul-2024 (In Divorce Law)
I received Ex-parte judgement and Decree. The respondent (My wife) did not appear on any of the Hearings during entire tenure of the case. I want to know if she can challenge this decree. Decree does not mention anything about the Alimony as well as compensation. So my question is whether my Wife can demand any kind of monetary compensation/Alimony now? can a divorce judgement be changed ?

Yes, She can demand Alimony by filing an Appeal against the Ex-Parte Decree passed in your favor. However, She has to produce conclusive evidences in her favor to challange the Ex-Parte Decree/Order passed.

If you got ex party judgment and decree then in such circumstances she can make appeal in High Court within thirty days from the date of judgment or even after that if she comes with some genuine reason for not keeping herself present before the court by filing application of condonotion of delay. Yes she can claim all kinds of relief.

Hi, your wife can challenge judgement, decree, order passed time to time in your matter within a period of 30 days by filing an appeal to the High Court. Ex Parte judgement doesn't give you the chance to escape from the case immediately but once period of 30 days is over she will not be liable to file an appeal.
